Fairy Sweet Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Take a cue from the Australians and make fairy bread for your next party: It has been a popular children's birthday treat Down Under for generations, and we think it'll go over just as well with kids (and adults!) here. To make it, spread softened butter on untoasted white bread and top with sprinkles. Rainbow nonpareils (or "hundreds and thousands," as Aussies say) are classic, but you can also use jimmies or sanding sugar in any color.

Steps:

• Spread margarine onto slices of bread. Cover with sprinkles. Cut into triangles to serve.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, egg, baking powder, rose water, and buttermilk in a good sized bowl, stirring until they are well blended.
• Fold in the candied fruits so they are distributed evenly in the dough. If the dough seems sticky, add more flour until you can work it easily with your fingers.
• Shape heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough into four leaf clovers.
• Place on a greased cookie sheet at 350*F for about 10 minutes, until fully raised and slightly browned.
• Drizzle a little honey on top while cooling.

Steps:

• Spread slices of bread with butter or margarine.
• Sprinkle with candy sprinkles.
