I am sometimes amused when I see a recipe calling for unsalted butter and salt.
IMO, the use of unsalted butter has been institutionalized way beyond any actual need for it. I imagine decades of our ancestors making excellent baked goods with salted butter and never giving a thought to changing. With the advent of cooking shows, unsalted butter has become a darling of TV chefs.
