Description

Makes Four Sandwiches Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s poem “Fairy Bread” in A Child’s Garden of Verses, this treat is popular at children’s parties in Australia, New Zealand, and other parts of the world. *Butter is typically used, but cream cheese, jam, Nutella, and Gingersnap Cookie Butter are also suitable for catching sprinkles.

Instructions

1. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from 4 of the buttered slices.

2. Place the uncut slices, buttered side up, on a plate or over a bowl to catch excess sprinkles. Cover with sprinkles. Top with the cut-out slices, buttered side down. Just barely sweet, these sandwiches make a fun breakfast surprise, after-school snack, or party food.
