Butter breads (Butterbrote)

Butterbrote are the biggest love of all my grandmothers grand children and great grand children. When my kids heard we made Butterbrote they got this sparkle in their eyes. And even today, first thing my daughter says when its about to bake Christmas biscuits, if we can make Buttebrote. Its a very easy recipe but nothing can beat the easy ones.
Its a bit tricky to get the right shape for the bread slices but once you are used to it also kids can easily help.
