Chef’s Tips

• Soften the butter until it spreads without tearing the bread. Cold butter tears soft bread.
• Butter right to the crust. The sprinkles stick only where there is butter.
• Make them no more than an hour before serving. The colours start to bleed into the butter after that.

Pairing Suggestions

• Orange juice
• Fresh fruit
• Sausage rolls

Storage & Reheating

Make on the day. Cover with a damp cloth and film if you need to hold them for an hour.
