A Saffron Bun is a traditional sweet bread that originates from the Channel Islands, particularly Jersey. It is made with a rich dough that includes ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and milk, and is flavored with saffron, which gives it a distinctive yellow color and unique taste. The bun is often studded with currants or raisins and sometimes topped with a glaze. Typically enjoyed during festive occasions, especially around Jersey's harvest time, the Saffron Bun is a symbol of local culture and heritage. It is often served warm and can be enjoyed plain or with butter, making it a delightful treat for both locals and visitors.
