16 oz per pound, 4 sticks per pound, 4 oz per stick, so the specified
1/2 stick would have 2 oz. Having a problem with math today?

I am going to try this tomorrow and am getting confused with the sticks
of butter. I get my butter/marg in a 1 lb block and am guessing there
are 4 sticks if I remember a while back to when the pound was
occassionally divided. I calculate the 2 1/4 sticks to equal 1 cup + 1/8
cup of butter. Please correct me if I am wrong. Hope this is as good as
it sounds as the carb content if pretty low althought the calories sure
add up.
Thanks,
Sally

HALF a stick. One stick is 4 oz, 4 sticks is 16 oz or 1 lb. half a stick
is half of a quarter, or an eigth of a oun. an eigth of a pound is 2 oz
so a half stick is 2 oz.

Do i say in the recipe this needs to set in the fridge for a couple hours
before serving?..it will be still a tad jiggly out the oven and can collapse
some but thats fine.
If you want it more cake like add some almond flour or hazelnut flour.

Oh and can anyone give what 250 degree F is in metric for the non
americans?..i font want sombody burning it..lol.

Correct. One cup is 2 sticks or 16 tablespoons so 2 tablespoons is one
2 ounces or 1/8 of a cup.

For future reference 1 lb of butter is 4 sticks or 2 cups. Each stick is
1/2 cup or 1/4 lb.
