How do you add salt to unsalted butter?

Incorporate 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt per pound into softened butter by creaming them together, or melt the butter and stir the two ingredients together. Fine-grained salt is recommended in order to avoid a finished product with a grainy texture.

1. Determine the correct proportions

   Commercial salted butter typically has 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt per pound of butter. Use this amount, or add slightly more or less to suit your individual preference.

2. Prepare the ingredients

   Soften the butter on the stove or using your microwave. This makes blending the ingredients together easier and also reduces the likelihood of a grainy texture.

3. Mix and enjoy

   Cream together the soft butter and the desired amount of salt. Refrigerate the butter when done.
