Host; "Now, for your signature challenge today, the judges would love you to make 12 mini meringue pies. Your pies should be made with a buttery short crust pastry with a tasty filling and an exquisite meringue topping.. You have two hours.

Prue Leith: "The signature challenge our bakers have to face is to bake 12 meringue pies. The meringue topping is the critical thing, so the bakers can choose whichever meringue they wish. Obviously, you've got Swiss, you have Italian and then you have French meringue."

Paul Hollywood: "For me, the perfect meringue pie has really crisp pastry. We want that snap, the crack and the beautiful butterness to come through.'
