Among the numerous international variations are the splits of Devon and Cornwall in southwest England, which are yeasted buns filled with
clotted cream, and the maritozzi of the Lazio region of Italy, which are enriched buns, made with
dried fruit and filled with
whipped cream.
Another specific national version is the Hong Kong sweet bun. It is one of the most standard pastries in Hong Kong. It can also be found in most Chinatown bakery shops. The bun has either
butter cream or whipped cream filling down the middle with
coconut sprinkles on the outside. Variations of it include the "Cream Horn", a pastry in a spiral shape, much like a horn, filled with cream.
