Where are you from? sticks of butter are a commonly understood quantity in Australia. Usually that's a safe bet that in other commonwealth countries it's the same.
- chrisseaton 10y agoIn the UK butter is sold in 0.25 or 0.5 kg blocks, not sticks. Recipes call for butter by weight rather than volume (unless its tablespoon sized).
- jeza 10y agoI'm in Australia and I don't think I've ever heard of it (except maybe glossing over American recipes online). I've always measured butter in grams. The packaging often has markers so you can roughly estimate to the nearest 50g but that is it as far as I know. If anything I might have assumed it was something approximating these 50g slices.
- geoka9 10y agoNot so common in Canada either, it's usually measured in grams.
