Resurfaced footage of the eccentric cook has whipped up a buttery debate.
, 64, is known for her ultra decadent and rich recipes - from her to this mouth-watering hack to revive stale pastries. Even her cooking lingo tends to be a little extra (we can all remember her iconic mikro-wavé line, right?). And when it comes to the much-more simple buttered toast, the TV chef and food writer makes no exception in adding a touch of grandiose to the breakfast staple. Now, fans have re-discovered a 2020 video from Two's Cook Eat Repeat series, where Nigella controversially declares she has a 'two-stage buttering approach'.
"I favour the two-stage buttering approach and so far, only stage one has taken place," Nigella said after showing how the dairy had melted onto her slice of toast. "The minute this [sourdough] comes out of the toaster, I spread it so that the butter has melted down into it and it will give it a fabulous, crumpet-y bite."
Instead of tucking in straight away, the chef explains that she waits for the toast to slightly cool before going in with another thick layer of unsalted butter. The toast should be cold enough that the dairy "will stay in some golden patches on the surface". To finish the snack off, the cook ten sprinkles sea salt flakes over the top. Swathes of baffled fans quickly took to social media to express their thoughts, with many in support of the double-butter hack. "It's a game changer," one person raved. "Probably not the healthiest option mind".
Another agreed, commenting: "Nigella telling people to double butter and salt their toast is the kind of public service announcement I've waited MONTHS for. A third added: "[I] absolutely thank all religious entities for Nigella introducing me to the concept of double-buttered toast," while a fourth added: "I have always double buttered my toast, by spreading it, waiting for it to melt, then buttering it again. I have been ostracised and castigated for this. This is the ultimate vindication."
However, others were more skeptical of Nigella's approach - with one person scathing: "I still don't understand why she used unsalted butter and then sprinkled salt on it instead of just using salted butter." Another quipped: "Nigella put me off her food when she sprinkled salt flakes all over buttered toast."
