For the final tier of my #AfternoonTea cake stand it has to be simple crisp cucumber sandwiches. Yes they’re simple but if you make them with love ❤️ and a little extra care, they are wonderful and help to counteract the heavier cakes on the stand. You have to cut the crusts off for a properly dainty treat! Normally we’d use white bread but I’ve got 50:50 Kingsmill so that’s what I’m using!

Steps

5 mins

1

Lay out your bread and cut the crusts off.
2

Spread both pieces thinly with butter.
3

Season both buttered sides with freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkle of sea salt (don’t skip this step as it’s what will lift your sandwich to afternoon tea heights!)
4

Cut the cucumber in long thin lengths about 2/3 mms in thickness. Enough thickness to retain some crunch but not enough to make it rustic and chunky!
5

Put the two halves together and cut in half, then in half again lengthways tomorrow make finger sandwiches.
