I was wondering what the difference is between using salted and unsalted butter really makes in a recipe. The reason I ask is because the price difference is about 1 dollar for unsalted and I don't know why it is more. Does it make a big difference in the baking?
Thanks

I use either or. It depends what is on sale. I suppose the salted will cut down a little on the sweetness, but i really cant tell the difference.
I have different icing recips that call for unsalted & salted butter. The unsalted recipes sometimes say add 1/8 t. salt. SO... your getting salt anyway. I use salted butter in all my icing & cakes~
I think it depends on the brands too. Some are saltier than others. I use unsalted. If you think it needs it, then you can add the salt. I prefer no salt. Maybe my tastebuds are messed up or it's the brand I use but the salted comes out sweeter than the unsalted which seems to have a milder flavor.
like I posted before our commissary doesnt carry alot of one brand or type product so if I want something I have to settle for what they have, thats main reason why I dont use real butter much at all. but if i get the salted butter I wouldnt add more salt....I dont think you really have to.
I can tell a difference in the taste and neither can my customers.... even when I tell them. I buy whichever... I'm not faithful.
