Recipe calls for salted butter and I have unsalted butter?

If a recipe calls for salted butter and you only have unsalted butter, you can easily make your own salted butter by adding salt to the unsalted butter. Here's how:

Ingredients:

* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Place the softened unsalted butter in a mixing bowl.

2. Add the salt and beat the butter until it is well combined.

3. Use the salted butter in your recipe as directed.

Note:

* The amount of salt you add may vary depending on your personal taste. If you prefer a more salty butter, you can add a bit more salt.

* If you plan to store your salted butter for later use, be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
