A beloved British classic inspired by Paddington Bear’s favorite snack—soft white bread sandwiches filled with sweet-tart orange marmalade and dusted with powdered sugar for that quintessential London teatime touch.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches (4 servings)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices soft white bread (recommended: Panadería-style or Arnold Country White)
  • 34 tbsp high-quality Seville orange marmalade
  • 12 tsp powdered sugar, for dusting
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (optional, for spread)

Instructions

  1. Place two slices of bread on a clean surface.
  2. Spread 1½–2 tablespoons of marmalade evenly over each slice, gently pressing the edges to help it adhere.
  3. Top with the remaining bread slices to form two sandwiches.
  4. 轻轻 press down and cut each sandwich in half diagonally or into quarters for bite-sized pieces.
  5. Sift powdered sugar lightly over the tops for a festive finish.
  6. Serve immediately with a cup ofBuilder’s tea or hot cocoa.
