One stick of butter equals 1/2 C. Three sticks= 1 1/2 C

I'm guessing here that you're not in the US, where butter is measured in sticks. A stick of butter is 4 ounces, so your brownie recipe needs 12 ounces of butter! Good old Nigella, never one to skimp ......

Hi,
It means you will use 3/4 of a pound of butter or 1 1/2 cups of butter.

It means 1 & 1/2 cups. Each stick of butter is wrapped & has a measuring chart on it. 1 stick = 1/2 cup.

Butter comes in sticks ... use 3 of them.
You can not use the tubs of butter 'substitute' ... use real butter that comes in a one pound box. Each box has 4 sticks ... use 3 of them.

It means it's freakin delicious! You can always use Smart Balance if you don't want all the fat, but seriousy butter isn't that bad for you.

It means that she used velveeta,crisco, and I can't believe it's not butter

It means it's really rich and really fattening and probably really really good!
