Tea Sandwiches

To make these dainty sandwiches, purchase very thinly sliced bread and freeze an hour or two before handling.  Keep fillings at room temperature for easier spreading.  Spread the filling all the way to the edges them trim and discard all the crusts.  Use a serrated blade for neat trimming and cutting. If making sandwiches in advance, lightly spread with butter to keep the bread from becoming soggy. Cut the bread with cookie cutters for different shapes. Cover with a damp cloth until ready to serve.
