So if I was to make shortbread for millionaires shortbread would I use salted or unsalted.

And generally you would use salted on toast?

I'm making shortbread tomorrow eve and i'm using salted butter. The recipe calls for a pinch of salt and i shall leave this out instead:cool:

Look at the images and ingredients not just the headline.

The photo says salted and the ingredients state

Ingredients
Added ingredient: Salt (1.7%

I think you're safe to assume it's salted!

As for which to go for, it would be preference mostly - some people find salted butter makes for a better addition even to sweet recipes, where the salt contrasts with the sweet, a bit like salted caramel. Generally I use/buy unsalted butter and add salt to the recipe if I want to.

Personally, I'd use salted for 'general eating' i.e. on toast etc, and unslated for any baking.

I ran out of unsalted at Christmas, and made butter cream icing with salted instead. Boak.
