Sophie Grigson's Poor Knights Of Windsor

My version of my mum's version of one of my great grandma's favourite teatime treats. My great grandma was very fond of raspberry jam sandwiches and always made mountains of them

   Method
   1. Sprinkle the raspberries with the icing sugar and about half a teaspoon of cinnamon, and crush lightly. Leave until they produce some liquid and look like slightly runny jam. Taste them and add more cinnamon and sugar if necessary.
   2. Cut the crusts off the bread and sandwich the pieces together with the raspberry mixture. Cut into triangles.
   3. Bring the butter to the boil in a small pan. Pour it through a muslin-lined sieve into a frying pan then fry the sandwiches in it. This sounds laborious, but it's quick and avoids the risk of the bread browning too much – it should be crisp and golden.
   4. Serve immediately with a spoonful of whipped cream or crème fraiche melting on top.
