Fairy bread : popular childhood treat in Australia and New Zealand, celebrated on the birthday of Scottish author, Robert Louis Stevenson
Fairy bread is a nostalgic childhood treat, popular in Australia and New Zealand, celebrated on the birthday of Scottish author, Robert Louis Stevenson.
Many linguistic scholars believe that, Robert Louis Stevenson, first coined the term in his 1885 poem, “Fairy Bread”, in “A Child’s Garden of Verses.”
Traditional Fairy bread unifies three simple ingredients - triangularly sliced white bread, slathered in butter, and topped with rainbow sprinkles (known colloquially as “hundreds and thousands”).
If you decide to whip up some Fairy bread of your own, keep in mind that to many, removing the crust means you’ve removed the dish's authenticity.
