Introduction & history
This simple treat, said to be a favorite of the late Queen Elizabeth II, is made with only three ingredients: slices of soft white bread, strawberry jam, and butter. The assembled sandwich is cut into rounds the size of an old English penny, hence the name. Other kinds of jam can be used as well.

Jam pennies are a simple treat, you don't even need a recipe, but here is how they're traditionally prepared. The measurements are also not needed, it's that easy to make.

Preparation
Step 1/5
Butter two slices of bread with butter, then spread one buttered side of bread with jam and sandwich together.
Step 2/5
Cut out as many circles as possible using a small pastry or a cookie cutter (we recommend one that's 2.5 cm/1" in diameter).
