Delectable little jam penny sandwiches, perfect for a Royal tea party or for the children's tea or supper.
Ingredients
- Sliced bread, white or wholemeal (about 3 to 4 slices per person)
- unsalted butter, to spread
- jam, such as home-made strawberry or raspberry jam
Note
Delectable little jam penny sandwiches, perfect for a Royal tea party or for the children's tea or supper. I have used a seven grain sliced bread in my sandwiches as shown in the photo, and my home-made strawberry jam too!
Directions
Step 1 | Cut the crusts off the sliced bread and put to one side for breadcrumbs or bread pudding. Spread the crust-less sliced bread with the butter on one side only, just as if you were making normal sandwiches. |
Step 2 | Spread the jam of your choice over one side of the buttered bread and then sandwich together with another buttered slice. |
Step 3 | Using a small pastry or biscuit/scone cutter, cut out 4 small circles from the jam sandwiches. Eat the jammy off-cuts, or put to one side for a steamed pudding or a bread pudding! |
Step 4 | Arrange the jam pennies on a plate alongside a pot of tea and other tea time treats. |
