If the recipe calls for 1 1/2 stick butter..what would that mean?

[BethF]

Ok so you take a cup measurement then you fill it with butter,

then you take it again and only fill it up half way with butter

[mSILLYm]

1 stick and then cut another in half

[Kyrie]

Generally the amounts are marked on the butter...

But the usual is that 1 stick = 1/2 cup

[i<3basketball]

that means 1 stick of butter and a half stick of butter

[Matty]

1 stick = 1/2 cup
your recipe for 1 1/2 sticks = 3/4 cup butter
