Thank you for such a great question! I know a lot of folks get confused when choosing butter for a recipe. Many recipes call for unsalted but lately, I’m seeing more and more recipes using salted butter and … well, how to decide?! The simple answer is I do think unsalted is typically the best choice, and here’s why: As for as how the recipe will actually turn out, either choice is just fine! Your cakes will rise just the same and your scones will be equally flaky — it’s more an issue of flavor. I hope that helps, and I hope you’re all enjoying spending more time at home baking. Judging from comments on our banana bread and homemade pizza posts, we think that’s the case! -Megan Gordon, Marketing Director and lover of all baked goods P.S. Have a question you’d like answered?
