Steps to make fairy bread

Step 1

  • Smear the butter on the bread. 

Step 2

  • Pour nonpareil rainbow sprinkles into a shallow bowl. Lay the bread, butter side down, in the sprinkles and press gently on the bread to make sure as many sprinkles as possible adhere to the butter.

Step 3

  • Leave out the sprinkle bowl if you plan to make another slice of fairy bread, then pour the sprinkles back into their container. However, if you're shooting video, you'll want to sprinkle the nonpareils over the buttered bread, because obviously that looks much better.

Step 4

  • Serve promptly

Recipe 2

  • Slather the butter a few centimeters thick onto the slices of bread. Cut off the crusts of the bread if you like.
  • Make sure you spread the butter all the way to the crusts and make sure the bread is not doughy and soggy. You can also use some used bread as you like. 
  • Sprinkle the sugar generously onto the buttered bread, making sure there are no gaps.
  • Keep the sprinkle-covered bread sunnyside up in an oven for a few minutes for the smooth, yet the lite flavour of the dish.
