I do it all the time, just use less salt.

I always use unsalted butter whenever I can. There's so much salt added to so many foods nowadays, so I always look for ways to cut out extra salt where I can.
And...salted butter makes the *yuckiest* icing. A while ago at work, somebody brought in a storebought birthday cake with "butter" cream icing. More like "salted butter" cream icing. It was horrible. Please, always use non-salted butter for baking!

Cabot Creamery is not bad either, and Organic Valley is good if you can find it. I buy and freeze butter when it is on sale or I have a coupon and haven't really noticed a difference for baking.

The other thing I like about Land O Lakes unsalted butter is it tastes the most like the beautiful butter which my dear old Jersey cow, Marigold, used to make for me. *sniff* |

I second Horseyrider's advice. Also another reason to switch from salted is that the salt content is not uniform in salted butters so it is very hard to judge how much salt to remove from recipes and in addition to hiding slightly rancid flavors it allows the dairy to sell a lower quality butter that has less flavor! |

I urge you to find a brand that's unsalted, such as Land O Lakes, for baking. Sometimes the salted brands, especially the store brands, are borderline rancid; and the salt covers up some of the rancid flavor. Ugh.
Of the national brands out there available, I've found Land O Lakes in the blue box (unsalted) to be one of the most consistent in quality. I've never gotten a bad or soured batch. |

If you do, reduce or omit the salt you would normally add. |
