Double Boiler Bread Pudding

1. 1

   Coat a 2-quart double boiler (or saucepan) with the butter (2 tablespoons). Pat the brown sugar over the butter.

2. 2

   Arrange 1/3 of the bread cubes in a single layer on top of the sugar. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the raisins. Repeat with the layering with the remaining bread and raisins.

3. 3

   In a small bowl beat together the eggs and half and half, vanilla and salt. Pour mixture over the bread/raisins.

4. 4

   Cover pan and set over boiling water. Cook for 1 1/2 hours or until set, you will probably need to add boiling water at least once.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and remove top pan from the boiling water. Let cool for 10 minutes or so and then invert onto a serving platter. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
