The Best English Tea Cucumber Sandwiches

See how to make a Victorian Tea Stand to display these yummy cucumber sandwiches here...

If you enjoy these sandwiches try these amazing scones and yes I did pronounce them with an American accent in the video shame on me.

Many of the guests at these parties did rave about these cucumber sandwiches.

In UK, we do not use mayonnaise. We use salted butter (room temperature - take butter out of fridge 30 minutes beforehand to soften) . Butter is spread on both slices of bread. Then thin cucumber slices are placed on one slice of bread. The 2nd slice of bread is placed over the top. Then the crusts are cut of. The sandwich is then cut into triangles and put on plates to eat. They are eaten with cups of tea. You can have milk or lemon in your tea. Do not use margarine or 'spread'. It will taste awful! You must use 100% butter. Mayonnaise has sugar in it, butter does not have any additives. In UK, we pronounce Worcestershire sauce as "wooster" sauce. We do not pronounce the 'shire' part of the name at all. Hope this helps!! Enjoy sandwiches ! Thanks ❤😊

Butter! Everything's better with butter! Kerrygold for me! "YUM"!

Tho not strictly the English way I put a little cream cheese as well as pure butter onto the bread to give a richer flavour . Cut into triangles. I often serve with chilled tomato soup with a swirl of creme fraiche and a sprinkling of finely chopped chives 😋

I made these today and I got a pro tip.

By cutting the sandwich last you will end up with a lot of borders, you can leave them for later as a snack ...but I find people usually would discard the crust because its too much.

What I do is ... I cut the crust before hand on a clean board and you can freeze the borthers clean so on a later late you can make bread flan/pudin out of them :)

I made up a picnic last weekend and it included cucumber sandwiches. Cucumbers from my garden. My daughter commented straight away on the sauce! It was a hit. Though I didn’t have the Worcestershire sauce .or chives.

These comments are not helpful. I get it, it sounds like people think there are too many ingredients, but is it good? It sounded good to me, so I decided to make it. The sandwich is delicious. The cream cheese mixture has a nice, bright flavor. Perfect for a light lunch or snack. Would recommend making this.

I love this recipe! I made it for friends recently and it was a hit. Thank you! From a native New Yorker ❤

First: Some of the comments here are so rude. They probably aren't from British people who in my experience are more tactful. Second: There isn't just ONE way of doing anything. I think she inspired quite a few people to make these.

I made a cucumber sandwich (my way) for the first time when I was 9 or so. It was delicious and I thought I invented them😅😅

[Freestile]

I just tried your recipe. It’s amazing! Just the right amount of zing yet still delicate flavor.

[jeremybeckett]

Yes. You have made my morning tea so much more legit. Thankyou

I have been wanting a cucumber sandwich here lately. I remember my mom making these and I think she just used mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Great video and thank you for this recipe. I will be trying it.

This was an interesting take on this sandwich. Thank you.

I make sandwich with butter and drizzle pepper on top thin slices of cucumber.
Tasts heaven

Looks delicious especially with the ingredients. Will do them for our post Sunday Mass on February 5

Worcestershire sauce is pronounced:

Wooster-sher sauce

Or if you want to say it like most Brits it’s just:

Wooster sauce

Like the way you shoved those dishes to the side, while you work doing your preparation. Like the speed too. No goofing around 👌

[lisacolbath]

I made them and they are delicious! Thank you!
