I put peanut butter on both slices, then jam on top of the peanut butter.
And no butter!
I don't know what's up with those weirdos buttering their bread before putting spreads on, but I'm not one of em!
This is the first time I've ever heard of this. I'm guessing it's to help prevent the bread from soaking up the peanut butter and jelly?
My favorite stoned snack when I was younger was a double-decker PB&J made with toasted Eggo waffles. And I had building it down to a science:
Spread the PB on two of the waffles and set them aside. Take a second knife (or quick wipe of the first if you're lazy), spread jelly on one side of the third waffle. Put that waffle jelly-side down onto one of the PB waffles. Spread jelly on the now exposed flip side of the jelly waffle. Top it off with the second PB waffle... Boom, double-decker PB&J waffle sandwich.
Would often end up with a stomach ache the next morning after eating it at 2 am though lol
...toaster waffles? I'm trying to imagine unhinging my jaw enough to manage three full-sized waffles stacked...
The peanut butter acts as a barrier to keep the bread from getting soggy. It’s a beautiful thing!
The bread doesn't really soak up peanut butter, but yes regarding the jelly.
If you're packing a PBJ for later, a thin layer of soft butter on the jelly side prevents it sogging the bread. Especially helpful if you're using preserves rather than jelly, so there's fruit-syrup between the fruit pieces. It also adds a nice little salty-umami flavor.
