Definición
Una barra de mantequilla es una medida de repostería estadounidense igual a 1/2 taza, 8 cucharadas, 1/4 de libra o aproximadamente 113 gramos.
Explicación
US butter is sold in 1-pound packages containing 4 sticks, each pre-wrapped and marked with tablespoon gradations for easy slicing. European and most other butter is sold in block form without this convention, making the 'stick' a distinctly American shorthand. For precision, weighing butter in grams is preferred, as butter density varies slightly with temperature and brand.
