Will this work using normal salted butter, but omitting the added salt.

Sure you can.. BUT, you know that the flavor of salt always adds a special taste to whatever it is added to, even candy and cake. But if you have a real salt problem, and if you can forego just a touch of flavor, it will be just fine.

According to the nutrition information on the salted butter I have in my fridge (a discount grocery brand) there is 90 mg. sodium per tablespoon. 1 cup of this would have 1440 mg. of sodium. Per the Morton Salt package, 1/4 teaspoon of salt has only 590 mg. of sodium. So the salted butter without added salt would produce a more salty flavor (assuming the entire sodium content of the butter to be in the form of sodium chloride).
