CHAPTER XII
SANDWICHES
The best sandwiches are made from bread which is fine grained and one day old.
Always cream the butter for buttering the bread.
Spread the loaf with butter before cutting the slice from the loaf. Cut each slice as thin as possible. After cutting, spread the slice with the sandwich mixture, and cover with another slice. Press the slices together firmly; cut off all crust and cut in rounds, triangles, or any shape desired.
Keep sandwiches wrapped in a cheese cloth which has been thoroughly dampened with cold water, and pack in a closed box until ready to use.
