Instructions

1. Plate Take a big empty plate. It needs to be big because you're bound to spill some of your precious coloured sugar when coating the bread.
2. White bread. Fresh, fluffy and not too holey.
3. Spread liberally with butter or margarine. Make sure to reach into all four corners. Don't freak out about how much butter is used - you only need need to make the bread an adhesive surface.
4. Shaker Take the 100's & 1000's and prepare them for sprinkling (the container pictured does make life easier - and resealable).
5. Shake 100's & 1000's over buttered bread. Don't worry about spillage - you'll soon become a master of shaking onto bread only.
6. Plain Cut Slice in half, diagonally. DO NOT cut into halves from any of the straight edges. Your fairy bread will taste significantly different.
7. Display your finished fairy bread on top of each other. Pile them up, they won't stick to each other if you've used plenty of 100's & 1000's.
8. Eating!! Eat!!

Variations

with Nutella

9.		Nutella is a perfect butter substitute, especially for chocoholics.
10.		Spread bread with Nutella all over. Again, don't miss the corners.
11.		Sprinkle with 100's & 1000's.
12.		Cut into fingers (or soldiers). This is the only other acceptable way to cut your bread. Perfect for kids!

Summary
again from Jock (with his own twist).....

Combine bread, butter & 100s & 1000s as you please - put two pieces together SQUASH, separate, cut into 1/2s or 1/4s, eat, drop 100s & 1000s all over the floor. The squashing part of the recipe is ESSENTIAL (similar to fresh white bread vegemite sandwiches really).

Got any other suggestions or variations? - email me.

Further Variations

Crusts may be removed
Four triangles can be cut if making for children
To transport, follow Jock's suggestion of squashing two complete slices together. That way you'll never loose any of the 100's & 1000's
