Unsalted butter
Simple rule: Sweet dishes – unsalted
Savory ” – salted
Sweet cream butter salted. They usually specify unsalted.
I would say the most understood answer for any recipe would be stick butter salted.
Hope your recipe turns out great!
Sweet cream salted butter makes wonderful pie crust.
unsalted for sweet dishes and salted for savoury
Unless specified butter is ALWAYS unsalted and eggs are ALWAYS large
unsalted butter
Whatever is in your fridge would work fine. Margarine or butter.
I always use salted no matter what the recipe!
For dessert recipes, always use unsalted butter. And if you only have salted butter, then you’ll need to adjust the salt that the recipe calls for. For example, if the recipe calls for 1/2 tsp of salt in addition to the other ingredients, and you use salted butter, I’d leave out the salt.
It’s always better to use unsalted butter in cooking. Not only can you control the amount of salt you’re using better, unsalted butter is supposed to be fresher since salt is a preservative.
I just go with whatever I have in the fridge. I ussually stock up on sweet cream, salted and unsalted. I find that it doesn’t make much of a difference.
sweet cream butter? i’ve never seen that…
just use regular unsalted butter, im convinced that you shouldn’t use margarine because a) its bad for you (all the trans fats) and b) it gives you a different texture
any but butter… its better to use sweet cream butter ( salted )
because much tasty than unsalted butter..
