The finger bun is a fruit bun popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, particularly in South Australia and Victoria, and New Zealand. At one time it was a bakery and school staple but its popularity has waned.[1] It has been used to help promote awareness of breast cancer.[2]
They are also popular in the United Kingdom where, unlike in Australia, they are eaten unbuttered.[3]
