Equipment

  • knife
  • chopping board
  • pourer or spoon

Ingredients

  • 4 slices fresh white bread (nothing fancy and nothing healthy – just a regular loaf of white bread sandwich sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons spreadable butter
  • ¼ cup 100s & 1000s / sprinkles / 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.

  2. Use fresh, white bread.
  3. Use spreadable butter and leave out of fridge for 15 mins beforehand to ensure it really is easily spreadable.
  4. Make up fresh just before serving.
  5. Read the entire post for all hints and tips.
