(UK, AU) A bun with a cream filling.
A beloved British and Australian baked treat — a soft, slightly sweet bun split and filled with fresh whipped cream, and often jam. Cream buns are a staple of school tuck shops, bakery counters, and afternoon tea spreads across the UK and Australia. They hit that perfect zone between cake and bread, indulgent but not overly fancy. In some regions they're essentially identical to a cream puff or profiterole; in others they're closer to a filled white roll. Either way, they disappear fast.
(Canada, Nova Scotia) A jelly doughnut.
A Burlington bun is what folks in Burlington and parts of Nova Scotia, Canada call a jelly doughnut — that classic deep-fried dough ball filled with sweet jam and dusted in sugar. Like many regional food nicknames, it's one of those hyperlocal terms that means nothing to outsiders but is immediately understood at the local bakery. If you order a jelly doughnut in the wrong Nova Scotian town, someone might gently correct you. Regional food slang is a real thing, and the Burlington bun is a tasty example.
