Notes
- My first note is regarding the extra pinch of fine salt - remember this is purely to taste & it will depend on how salty your butter is.
- How much butter you need to cover each slice of bread will of course depend on the surface area of your slices. The 35g of butter that I have quoted in the recipe should do the job even for slices of bread which are large. If you find yourself with butter mixture left over you could also just slather a bit more on before you put them in the oven. I have rarely uttered the phrase "there's too much butter" just to let you know...
- This recipe is SUPER easy to scale up as well, just double everything to make 8 etc. You could also make twice the quantity of butter and freeze the other half for another sitting.
