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

[Chet]

No, it actually means sticks. Cut one in half, and the other full.

would that be 1 half cup of butter? or 1 cup plus 1/2 cup? can somebody help pls?Thanks for those who would try to clarify this.

It means 1 stick of butter and a half of 1 stick of butter.

The easies thing to do is just remember 1 1/2 cups of butter it would be 3 sticks, 1 cup is 2 sticks, and 1/2 cup is 1 stick.

But if the recipe is calling it 1 1/2 stick than that's it use 1 stick and a 1/2 of a stick.

A full stick of butter and then half of another.

[starved123]

1 stick of butter is equivalent to 4 oz
a stick and a half is 6 oz

There are 4 sticks of butter in a pound or 16 oz box

[Recipe4Living]

1 stick butter is equal to 8 Tbs. which is equal to 1/2 C.

Therefore, 1 1/2 sticks butter is 3/4 C. butter.

the butter is in quaraters of a pound. a quarter of a pound is 1/2 cup of butter. one and a half sticks of butter equals 3/4 cup of butter.

why not look at the wrapper on the butter? it is usually marked in tablespoons, quarter of a stick or 1/8 cup, half of a stickor 1/4 cup, and half cup markings.

[Schmylan]

it would mean 1 cup plus a 1/2 cup
