The intention was to make
these cucumber sandwiches dainty and ladylike. An old family
friend of ours, sadly now departed, used to make the most delicate cucumber
sandwiches whenever we visited. As you can see mine are not particularly
delicate. But I tried.
You just thinly butter some
slices of white bread with your choice of spread. (This is the only time
I use white bread)
Then put a thin layer of
thinly sliced cucumber on every second slice of bread. It is important to
peel the cucumber to get the right consistency. Then sprinkle on salt and
white pepper. Pop the other slice of bread on top and press down a bit.
Cut off the crusts and then
quarter each sandwich. And if you manage to be more delicate than me you
will have lovely tiny cucumber bites that are lovely and refreshing.
If you are preparing this a
little ahead of time, keep the sandwiches cool in the fridge with a dampened
tea towel over them (not plastic wrap).
