[quote=Anonymous]I've made 2 baked goods in the past week - snickerdoodles and banana bread - and both have been extraordinarily salty. I bake pretty often, and I've never had this happen to me before. I weigh ingredients instead of measure them, and I've been baking for years, so I feel pretty confident in the kitchen. With the cookies, I subbed self-rising flour for the all-purpose, which of course has salt in it, so I just thought that that was where the excess salty came from and thought the problem solved.  But yesterday, the bread came out salty, and that has never happened before. I used white whole wheat yesterday which I always do for the banana bread, followed the instructions as written and - super salty. The amount of salt I put in was correct. What could it be? Could baking power or baking soda 'go bad' and cause things to be extra salty? A google search tells me that's not really possible, and plus, the amounts in the recipe  - 1 tsp of each - wouldn't be that significant to make the whole recipe be so salty. Other ideas? MAybe the salt taste is actually a bitter taste? And if that's the case, what could cause that?[/quote]
