A Kitchener bun is a type of sweet pastry made and sold in South Australia. It consists of a bun sometimes baked, sometimes fried, made from a sweet yeasted dough similar to that used for making doughnuts, split and then filled with raspberry or strawberry jam and cream, most often with a dusting of sugar on the top.
The Kitchener bun resembles the Berliner, a pastry of German origin – although distinguished from it by an open face and a generous cream rather than jam content – and was, in fact, known as such until anti-German sentiment in World War I led to its renaming in honour of the British field marshal Horatio Lord Kitchener.
