Really Dumb Question

[rodriguezpoultry]

I have a recipe that calls for 1c. melted butter.

Does that mean that the butter, melted needs to equal 1 cup, or that the butter without being melted equals 1 cup BEFORE melting?

two sticks is one cup, which is what I would melt.

Two sticks, then melt it.

Yep 2 sticks....each stick is 1/2 a cup.

That's not a dumb question! In fact, it's very logical.

I'm sure they mean 2 sticks, too.

YAY!

That's MUCH better than me scooping out a cup of butter from the butter tub!

It will be the same either way. You can melt two sticks of butter and that will be one cup.
