Fairy bread

Serves 8 slices (party tray) Prep 10 min Cook 0 min Total 10 min

Ingredients

Method

  1. Butter each slice right to the edges — this is what makes the sprinkles stick.
  2. Scatter hundreds and thousands generously over the buttered side. Press lightly with your hand so they stick.
  3. Cut each slice into 4 triangles (or 2).
  4. Pile onto a platter. Serve the same day — the bread dries out if left.

Tip: Soft white bread, real butter, and going right to the crust is the whole recipe. Scale up or down: ½ tbsp butter and 1 tbsp sprinkles per slice.
