Fairy Bread
Description
The recipe begins by allowing spreadable butter to sit out until it's soft enough to apply smoothly without tearing the bread. Each slice of fresh, white sandwich bread is evenly coated with butter, avoiding the very edges to keep sprinkles adhered. The colorful sprinkles are then poured liberally over the buttered surface. To remove excess sprinkles, the bread slices are tipped from side to side over a tray or sink, so only the sprinkles stuck to butter remain. Finally, each slice is cut diagonally twice to form four triangles, which are arranged on a plate or platter and served immediately to preserve freshness and crunch.
Fairy Bread’s charm lies in its simplicity, combining soft, plain bread and sweet butter with the texture and bright colors of sprinkles. It is a popular and easy-to-make party snack especially in Australian and New Zealand celebrations.
The notes remind to use fresh white bread and spreadable butter for best texture, and to prepare the bread just before serving to keep the sprinkles intact. Visual cues from pictures help gauge the proper amount of butter and sprinkles needed for a good coating.
Ingredients
- 4 lices white bread nothing fancy and nothing healthy - just a regular loaf of white bread toast-sliced, fresh
- 2 tablespoons butter spreadable
- ¼ cup 100s & 1000s or sprinkles or nonpareils
Instructions
- Take your spreadable butter from the fridge and allow to sit for about 15 minutes. This will ensure it's soft enough to spread without ripping the bread.
- Spread butter on each slice of bread, ensuring it's spread evenly and close to the edges but not reaching the edges.
- Sprinkle plenty of 100s & 1000s over each slice, using a pourer or spoon.
- Tip the bread from side to side to ensure the 100s & 1000s stick to the butter and tip on side over a tray or the sink to remove any excess 100s & 1000s.
- Cut each slice twice, diagonally, to create 4 triangles.
- Pile them on a plate or line up in rows on a platter and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh, soft white bread for the best texture and flavor.
- Let spreadable butter sit out for about 15 minutes to soften before spreading to avoid tearing the bread.
- Apply an even layer of butter, close to but not touching the edges, to help the sprinkles stick well.
- Prepare the fairy bread just before serving so the sprinkles remain crisp and vibrant.
