I brushed milk over the tops and sprinkled them with a little sugar. So yummy! (And thanks for the grating butter idea, that is so clever!) I just made these biscuits and they are wonderful!

We have to watch the fat and carbs due to my health issues, but so far, thank God!, salt is not an issue!

The quantity of salt in salted butter also varies somewhat from brand to brand, so it can be a little challenging to know exactly how much salt you should leave out of a recipe. LA Note - Due to some health issues my husband needs to eat a low sodium diet so using unsalted butter and then adding salt allows me to know exactly how much salt I am putting into my baking. Hope this helps! Thanks for asking. Tina »

I completely and unashamedly admit it. So here's my question. Why use unsalted butter and then add salt? Why not just use regular salted butter? I've always wondered that. I am a non-baker.
