Fairy bread is a simple and delightful Australian treat that’s perfect for children’s parties or any occasion that calls for something colorful and sweet. Here’s how you can prepare fairy bread:
Ingredients:
- Sliced white bread (typically soft, sandwich bread)
- Unsalted butter, softened
- Hundreds and thousands (or rainbow sprinkles)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bread:
- Start with fresh slices of white bread. Trim off the crusts if desired, though traditionally fairy bread is made with the crusts left on.
- Spread Butter:
- Spread a generous amount of softened unsalted butter evenly over one side of each slice of bread. The butter acts as the adhesive for the sprinkles.
- Add Sprinkles:
- Pour hundreds and thousands (or rainbow sprinkles) onto a plate or shallow dish. Press the buttered side of each slice of bread into the sprinkles, ensuring that they stick well and cover the bread evenly.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once all slices are coated with sprinkles, use a sharp knife to cut each slice into triangles, squares, or any shape you prefer.
- Serve:
- Arrange the fairy bread on a serving platter and serve immediately. It’s best enjoyed fresh so that the bread stays soft and the sprinkles stay vibrant.
Tips:
- Variations: Some people like to add a thin layer of Nutella or chocolate spread under the butter for added sweetness.
- Storage: Fairy bread is best served soon after making to maintain its texture and appearance.
- Presentation: You can get creative with the sprinkles—use different colors or mixtures of sprinkles for a festive look.
Fairy bread is a nostalgic and fun treat that brings joy with its colorful appearance and simple, sweet flavors. It’s a hit at kids’ parties and gatherings where a touch of whimsy is appreciated!
