What is a pudding?
Entries to the competition must be original and look fit for the Queen
Although pudding has come to mean dessert, there is a bit of a difference.
Although the competition is for a sweet pudding for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, 'pudding' can actually mean something sweet or savoury.
Baked puddings - anything put in an oven like a tart or a pie.
Steamed or boiled puddings - Christmas puddings and and sticky toffee puddings are usually cooked this way.
Batter puddings - This includes Yorkshire puddings which people usually have with a roast dinner, but also sweet fritters like doughnuts.
Milk puddings - Made with animal or plant milk - this includes custards and ice cream.
Jellies - These are often colourful and set in a decorative mould. They are made from gelatine which comes from plants or animals.
