In my village, the bakers called them "dough-buns".
ISTR that when I was a child, the price was a penny-farthing (1.25 old 
pence) or 3 for threepence-halfpenny (pronounced thrippence-hape-nee) 
i.e. 3.5 old pence. I think that bakers were the last to use farthings 
that were taken out of circulation in the 1950s.
