3 slices raisin bread
2 teaspoons softened butter

Trim the crusts from the bread and spread slices with the butter.

Butter the upper part of a 1 quart double boiler.
Spread the brown sugar into it and place the bread cubes on top.
In a medium sized bowl beat together the eggs, milk, salt and vanilla with a rotary beater.
