Honey Buns

Mrs. Freshley’s honey buns are probably the most award-winning honey buns in America. Mrs. Freshley’s Jumbo Honey Bun has captured three American ChefsBest Awards, four Snack Producers Award for Breakfast Foods, and Automatic Merchandiser magazine’s “Pastry Product of the Year” award over the past several years. These accolades prove that Mrs. Freshley’s Honey Buns deliver on both great taste and great quality.

A honey bun is a fried yeast pastry that contains honey and a swirl of cinnamon in the dough and is glazed with icing. According to legend, Howard Griffin of Griffin Pie Co. in Greensboro, N.C., developed the first honey bun in 1954. Flowers Foods acquired Griffin Pie Co. in 1983. Although the Greensboro bakery is now closed, honey buns remain a best-seller for Flowers.
