Party Food: Fairy Bread

The Party Fairies love Fairy Bread! Fairy bread is commonly served at children's parties in Australia and New Zealand. According to Wikipedia, The origin of the term is not widely known, but it may come from the poem 'Fairy Bread' in Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses, published in 1885.

Ingredients

• Bread slices
  
• Sprinkles (also known as 100s and 1000s in the original recipe)
• Butter
  

Steps

• Take out white bread, cut off the crusts or leave them on.
  
• Spread some butter. Margarine can be used as a substitute but butter tastes better to many people.
• Put sprinkles on top.
• Cut the bread diagonally into triangles.
• Serve on a pretty plate.

Variation:

• White bread tastes best but you can other breads like rainbow bread.
• You can use cookie cutters or kitchen scissors to cut out different shapes.
  
• Margarine can be substituted for butter.
  
• You can also substitute nutella or peanut butter for the butter.
  
• You can use other types of sprinkles (as the 100s and 1000s are not available in the Philippines). Rainbow ones have the most fairy-like appeal.
