I only consulted the recipe because I'd forgotten how much baking powder to use --- and how much salt. That's how I happened to see that the list of ingrediants does not list SALT at all! However, it tells you when to put it into the batter. I'm sure I've made it with AND without salt before - so no matter. But thought the recipe provider may want to clear up the discrepancy.
