Belgian buns are a sweet pastry popular in the United Kingdom, though their origins are unclear and not directly tied to Belgium. The name "Belgian bun" might be a marketing invention, not a reflection of the bun's true heritage.
Belgian buns are usually round or spiral-shaped. They are made from a sweet dough enriched with butter and sometimes eggs, giving them a rich and tender crumb. These days, I usually make mine in a tray for convenience! However, you can place the dough on a tray, leaving enough space for the bun to bake individually.
They often contain currants or raisins and may include a layer of lemon curd.
The buns are typically glazed with white icing and topped with a glacé cherry.
The buns have a sweet and slightly tangy flavour, especially if lemon curd is included.
They share similarities with other sweet rolls and buns in Europe, such as Chelsea buns and Danish pastries, which also use enriched doughs and sweet fillings.
The "Belgian" in the name could have been added to evoke a sense of European sophistication and appeal. Similar naming conventions have been used for other products, like "Belgian waffles," which also have variations specific to different regions.
Despite the name, these buns are not a traditional pastry in Belgium but are not commonly found in Belgian bakeries.
Belgian buns have become a beloved treat in the UK. They are often found in bakeries, supermarkets, and cafes, and they are enjoyed with tea or coffee.
The recipe can be adapted with different fillings and flavours, making them a versatile pastry.
In summary, Belgian buns are a delightful pastry with a mysterious and commercially appealing name, likely created and popularized in the UK.
