Who made this dish?

Saku: "This is jaggery. It belongs to the Palm family we use in Sri Lanka quite a lot."


Voice Over: "But for Saku, jaggery involves an extra risk. It's hard to get out of the mould.


Saku: "I have to empty the moulds while it is still hot. If it goes cold then I"m lost."


Paul Hollywood: "You need a chisel and a hammer to get them out."


Voice Over: "Using jaggery, cardamom and nutmeg. Saku's creme caramels will be mini versions of a popular pudding from her homeland."


Saku: "I'm making a Sri Lankan dessert that my mom made at home. This is one of her favorite. "

Prue Leith: "They're so pretty. They're almost identical. And your jaggary seems to have worked. It's nice and evenly shiny."


Paul Hollywood: "It's very sweet, which I sort of expected. Cardamom comes through beautifully, but the custard itself is too thick."


Prue Leith: "How many eggs did you use?"


Saku: "Eight."


Prue Leith: "Eight whole eggs?"


Saku: "Yes."


Prue Leith: "I think that could be the problem. You've got too much egg white. More yolks than whites is the secret."
