When a recipe asks for a cup of butter, they're not actually asking for a cup of butter. American butter comes in one pound blocks so it's likely the recipe developer actually used a half pound of butter rather than a cup. If you actually measure a cup of butter into your recipe you've likely put slightly more butter in than the recipe developer did.
But at least you'll be close. Unlike 1 cup of broccoli.
- dukeyukey 3y agoHow do you measure 1 cup of broccoli? Cos that sort of instruction comes up constantly. Unless American stores sell vegetables in 1 cup bushels (which just in case they do, is beyond insane) I don't see how you could reliably do that ever.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoYes, that's such an obvious point that I didn't think I needed to make it more clear that I agree with you.
