  1. In the mug, use a fork to whisk sugar, salt, cinnamon, egg, milk and vanilla (if using) until very well blended. Add bread cubes, stirring and pressing them down into the custard to absorb the liquid. Let stand for at least 15 minutes (so the bread absorbs the liquid). Press bread down with a fork to compact.<\/li>\n
  2. Microwave on High for 1\u00bd to 2\u00bd minutes (checking at 1\u00bd) or until firm to the touch and liquid is absorbed.
    \nServe with any of the suggested accompaniments, as desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Suggested Accompaniments: <\/strong>Confectioners’ (icing) sugar; pure maple syrup; butter<\/p>\n
