Tea Sandwich Recipes for an Afternoon Tea Party - Dainty & Delicious Is The Key!
Tea Sandwich Recipes - Tea sandwiches for an afternoon tea party should be dainty and different, luckily sandwich recipes are always easy! The essence is to provide a lot of different tastes and textures. Use different breads, brown, rye and white and make a pleasing arrangement.
Serve them on silver trays or tiered trays if you have them, they can save a lot of space on a small table.The addition of paper doilies under the sandwiches will give an elegant look, then add some pretty garnish.
When making your sandwich recipe bear in mind the filling should be the same width as one of the slices of bread, so there is no need to make vast amounts of fillings. Cut your tea party sandwiches into four, after removing the crusts and there will be 2-3 bites per quarter.
Dainty Sandwiches For an Afternoon Tea
Here are some tea sandwich recipes for your afternoon tea. I will be adding lots more as time permits!In the USA, people are more likely to put mayonnaise on sandwiches than butter. Try some of each at first. Just remember the essence of afternoon tea sandwiches is that they are small - two bites is adequate. Put your mayonnaise or salted butter in a bowl. The butter should be at room temperature. Brush the mayo or butter onto the sandwich, thinly. The key is not to make the sandwich soggy! Always buy good quality bread as thinly sliced as you can get. Make some sandwiches with one slice of brown bread and one slice of white. Presentation is very important. Once you have made your sandwiches, cut off all the crusts. Save them and throw them out for the birds to enjoy!
Remember (although your guests may not!) that this is afternoon tea, it is not a full meal per se. Dinner, back in the day, would still have been eaten later in the evening.Saying that, I think a lot of weight-conscious ladies - and that includes me - would skip dinner anyway! You can cut the sandwiches into triangles, squares or into six. Garnish each plate with parsley, lettuce, or a small flower. If you can find fancy paper doilies to put on your serving trays or plates, they always look pretty. Make the sandwiches a few hours before your party and wrap them in film. Allow 3 whole sandwiches per guest - remember one whole sandwich only equals 8-12 bites!
