Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Tea sandwiches are small and dainty so you can try lots of kinds at a tea party. Patting the cucumber dry keeps the bread from going soggy.
For a home high tea: serve these with our Easy Cocoa Scones, Microwave Strawberry Jam and Quick Lemon Madeleines.
Make it a learning moment: cucumbers are about 95 percent water. Try pressing a slice between paper towels and see how much comes out.
