Great Grandmother would just slather butter we churned together on warm home made bread and sprinkle sugar on it.
She called it Alfinique? I can find no reference to it.
Well, ‘alfenique’ seems to refer to the sugar paste that is used in the Day of the Dead sculptures, like calaveras. Maybe she just conflated the sugar paste idea with the sugar bread?

That’s what Calpurnia serves to Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird when she realizes she’s been too mean to the little girl. Bread and butter with sugar sprinkled on top!
