Viewers of The Great British Bake Off were triggered when the show returned to screens. The hit Channel 4 show was back for week seven on Tuesday night (October 25) and it was all about custard.
The latest episode saw the remaining contestants tasked with iles flottantes, better known as floating islands, ice creams and cakes, all featuring custard. They were first challenged in the signature to make eight floating islands, a French desert where meringues are poached on top of creme anglaise or English custard.
Paul Hollywood said: "It’s custard week. One of my favourite things to eat ever. We want to see an introduction of colour, flavour and texture." But a surprise came in the technical challenge when hosts Noel Fielding and Matt Lucas told the contestants there would be staggered start and end times for the first time.
