Now let me say this my mother used salted butter in EVERYTHING and for certain recipes I use it as well but other recipes I prefer unsalted butter. What’s your preference; salted or unsalted?

The Great Butter Debate: Salted Versus Unsalted in Baking
Not always a debate, but here's our take.

Should you use salted or unsalted butter for baking? The answer lies in ingredient selection and precise flavor control.

Unsalted butter gives you complete authority over the exact sodium content of your recipe. This control is crucial when precise chemistry is required to achieve the perfect texture and taste in your pastries. By adding your own salt, you ensure consistent results every single time.

On the other hand, salted butter holds a specific place in the professional baker toolkit. It can bring a beautiful savory balance to rich recipes like dark chocolate cookies or heavy caramel sauces.

Knowing when to use each type of butter is the key to mastering your craft.

At Fat Daddio's, we know that understanding your ingredients is just as important as choosing the right bakeware. Whether you are crafting a delicate sponge cake or a savory tart, managing your sodium levels allows you to achieve the ideal flavor profile without compromising quality.

What are your buttery preferences?

These past two years was extremely hard and making the decision to completely starting my business over again isn’t where I saw myself but here we are 🤷🏽‍♀️. Am I scared? YES, but I am reminded of something my mother always told me; she said always know WHO YOU ARE and WHO’S YOU ARE. So here we go Faith over Fear!!!!
