When you go to the store in the dairy section you will find
butter in rectangular boxes, those boxes are 1 lb of butter,
each of those boxes will have 4 sticks (makes it easier for
use on the table, use some and freeze some). Each stick
will be 1/2 cup of butter. Some will even have gradation
marks making it easy to slice off the amount needed in a
recipe.
