Our latest series runs down the truth behind the popular bakes featured on The Great British Baking Show. This week: Puddings!

Puddings

Pudding is a British slang word for desserts of any kind. Like the "Dessert" category, this is a bit of a catch-all for stuff that doesn't go anywhere else. It was only a category week in the very first version of the show and in this season, as having both it and a "Dessert" week was a bit redundant.
