Paris buns are a sweetened breadlike cake similar to scones. They are typically decorated with currants [ disambiguation needed ] or pearl sugar nibs. [1] A recipe from an 1881 cookbook refers to Paris buns as "Scotch" and says that three of the buns cost a penny. [2] They used to be popular in Belfast, Northern Ireland as well as in western Scotland, [1] or in poorer regions. [3]
