Bake Off Contestants Tackle Sussex Pond Pud Ahead Of Semi-Final

Have you ever heard of a Sussex pond pudding?

Well, the British public was wowed last night by the 17th-century desert, which is a traditional English pudding from the county of Sussex - surprisingly!

It is made of a suet pastry, filled with butter and sugar, and is boiled or steamed for several hours.

Modern versions of the recipe - like the one the contestants did in the technical challenge last night (Tuesday) often include a whole lemon inside the pastry (pictured below).

If you want to avoid a spoiler - stop reading now.

Last night's show led to Mark being eliminated ahead of the semi-finals next week.

Hermine was crowned pudding week's star baker - for the second time.

But despite receiving glowing praise from Paul and Prue, Hermine was not offered a handshake. Fans took to Twitter to express their disappointment with some saying:

'WHERE’S THE HANDSHAKE HOLLYWOOD!?!?'

Dave, Hermine, Laura and Peter will return to the tent next week for the second last show.

It’s Semi Final time next Tuesday! And with it, a whole lot of pâtisserie! #GBBO pic.twitter.com/hAwkDP4L3D
