An iced bun (also known as Swiss bun or iced finger) is a bread bun with a white or pink icing sugar glaze covering the top.[1] The dough may be enriched (made with eggs, milk, and butter)[1][2] or simply an oblong bread roll.[3] In some bakeries or recipes, iced buns are garnished with additional sweets or are decorated as ballet slippers or other shapes.[4][5]
Iced buns can be filled. A "raspberry bun" contains a small amount of raspberry (or sometimes strawberry) jam filling, which oozes out when the bun is bitten; they have many variations in size and shape, and are sometimes coated in sprinkles or coconut. An iced bun may be split after baking, then filled with flavoured whipped cream.[6] There is also a variety with lemon curd in the centre and lemon icing on top.[7]
Iced buns are popular in the United Kingdom. The method of eating iced buns varies: some people eat them as-is, while others prefer to split and butter the bun before eating.[3]
