I have a recipe that calls for salted butter which is something I never buy. How much salt would you add to the recipe per stick of butter?

1/8 tsp???

You really shouldn't need ANY salt at all with salted butter.

The only thing I can suggest if you feel safe about tasting it, is take a taste of whatever you are making and if you think it needs salt still, then add it.

I think she means she only has unsalted butter at her house and she wants to know how to make it into salted butter.

I am interested as well!

Thanks. The recipe doesn't call for added salt so I think I'll go with the 1/8tsp.

I rarely use salt when I cook so I find the taste of salted butter really, really, really salty. icon_razz.gif
