Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Soft white bread
- 4 tablespoons Strawberry jam (or your favorite jam)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional, for spreading)
Instructions
Lay the slices of white bread flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
Optional: Spread a thin layer of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of bread to prevent the jam from soaking into the bread.
Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of jam on one slice of bread, ensuring it covers the surface completely. Repeat with another slice of bread.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top of the jam-covered slices to create two sandwiches.
Using a round cookie cutter (approximately 2-3 inches in diameter), press down firmly on the sandwich to create circular 'pennies.' Discard (or save for another use) the crust and any excess bread.
Repeat the cutting process until you've made as many 'pennies' as possible from the sandwiches.
Serve immediately as a delightful snack with tea, or store in an airtight container for up to 12 hours for later enjoyment.
