Nigella demonstrated how to butter toast in the introduction to her recipe for an ‘old-fashioned sandwich loaf’.
Sitting in the garden with her own slice of buttered toast, Nigella explained: ‘I favour the two-stage buttering approach and so far, only stage one has taken place.
‘That is to say, the moment this came out of the toaster and was lovely and hot, I spread it with butter, so the butter has melted down into it and it’ll give it a fabulous, crumpety bite.’
Picking up her knife and spreading more butter, she continued: ‘Stage two now, ready for it, I need a little more butter and it will stay in some golden patches on the surface.

Viewers thanked the TV chef for giving them recipes that are ‘easy’ to do at home
‘It is unsalted butter, which I always prefer to use, but what I need to do is sprinkle some seasalt flakes over. This is the platonic ideal of toast.’
Viewers were quick t comment on the technique, with one tweeting: ‘I’m sorry @Nigella_Lawson but you’ve lost the plot mate! Teaching us to how butter toast?’
Another posted: ‘Least Nigella gives me nice and easy stuff to aspire to… last week fish fingers… this week double buttered toast #eatcookrepeat.’
A third wrote: ‘I’m really glad that @BBCTwo had #Nigella to tell us how to butter toast. Hopefully next week, we’ll find out how to make an @PotNoodle.’
Others jokingly praised Nigella for giving toast ‘the attention it deserves’
