From her childhood days in the nursery to her final years, the late Queen relished a humble afternoon treat that is both easy to prepare and steeped in royal tradition. According to former royal chef Darren McGrady, who shared insights on YouTube, Queen Elizabeth had a fondness for “jam pennies” — small, round jam sandwiches made from bread, butter, and jam.
