Fairy bread is what Australians call buttered bread full of sprinkles, usually served at a kids' party. Apparently there are some recipes using fancy kinds of bread cut into cute shapes and gourmet butter, plus unusual sprinkles. This hilarious version is from a Huffpost article a few years ago. Too funny not to save!! It turns out that the Dutch folks have their very own version, called Hagelslag. My East-friesan mother used to butter pumpernickel bread and sprinkle on white sugar - I never realized that this treat was regional !

How To Make authentic fairy bread - hagelslag

Step 1

Slather the butter a few centimetres thick onto the slices of bread. Cut off the crusts if you like. Make sure you spread the butter all the way to the crusts -- you want those 100s and 1000s to stick real good.

Step 2

Sprinkle the sugar generously onto the buttered bread, making sure there are no gaps.
Step 3

Eat fairy bread until you feel sick!!!!
