In many recipes a stick of butter is called for. My question is:
How much does a stick of butter weigh?
4oz or 8oz?

Yes you buy a pound of butter and get four sticks, so each should weigh 4 oz.
But just for a giggle I went and weighed a stick on a postal scale we have (we mail a lot) and it said 4.1 oz.
Don't know if the extra 0.1 oz was the paper wrap or just lagniappe, but it is 4 oz.
That's Allen, north of the 49th this one makes more sense too me...In Europe though I find cookbooks really bounce around from one measurement (system) to another...1 stick of butter = 112 g
