A lovely traditional jam sponge pudding from my grandma. I find raspberry jam is particuarly tasty but any flavour will work.

1) Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs.
2) Fold in the flour and salt alternately with the milk.
3) Spoon the jam in to the bottom of a well greased, heatproof pudding baisinthe spoon in the batter.
4) Cover the baisin (I usually use tin foil) and place in a large pan half filled with hot water.
