Why do we add salt to dessert recipes?

what difference does it make?


I tried adding salt and not adding in the same recipe and the result was the same!Why do we add salt to dessert recipes?
It depends on the recipe. If it calls for ';all purpose flour,'; you add salt and baking powder to make it rise. If it calls for self-rising flour... this is going to sound odd, but it actually makes some recipes taste richer. Butter has a lot of salt, so a lot of times adding ';salt'; to a recipe fools your tastebuds into thinking it has a lot of butter (particular in frostings and the like). It also offsets the sweetness, making it more palatable.Why do we add salt to dessert recipes?
Salt doesn't only act with the leavening agents in a recipe, but it also cuts through the bitterness that may be present and therefore makes the recipe sweeter. which is why salt on watermelon can make it taste sweeter. or how 1/8tsp on your coffee grinds helps the coffee taste better.
Salt makes the same difference to sweet foods that it does to savory foods - it enhances and brings out the flavors within. One adds less salt to sweet dishes than to savory - you dont want salty ice cream or salty cake.


I add salt to all my desserts which I make from scratch.
A pinch of salt is to ';brighten'; the flavor. In dessert, which is usually sweet, the loss of salt is less noticible, but in meat, vegtables, breads %26amp; other foods a salt free serving is not as full or flavor as one that includes a pinch of salt.
salt suppresses bitter tastes, bringing sweet and sour flavors to your tongue. seems like to me, all the professional cooks on tv always use a sprinkle of salt in almost everything they bake.





i sprinkle salt onto my coffee before starting the brew.
It's added to enhance the sweetness of the dish.
I don't add salt to mine and to me it is excess sodium.
Salt blocks your bitter taste buds making things taste sweeter.(in moderation of course).
