-I changed the amount of salt in here.My original recipe calls for 1 Teaspoon of salt but that may be too much for some. A few people have made it as is[the majority] with no complaints on salt, however a few commented it was too much. I think 1/2Teaspoon can be used with no alterations to the recipe.I will leave it up to you either way you still WIN!!
