A tablespoon is one eighth of a stick. Take the wrapper off the butter,
fold
the ends in so you have a strip of wrapper the length of the butter stick.
Now fold that in half and cut there. That's four tablespoons, or a quarter
cup. Fold again, and cut in both sections, so you have four two tablespoon
sections. One more fold will get you individual tablespoons.
This is far easier if you use a new stick, as then you can compare the
lengths.
Another trick is to determine how many fingers fit on the top of a stick
of
butter -- unless your hands are very large or very small your eight
fingers
should come very close to covering it. Adjust and use fingers as a
measuring
guide.

Subject: [CnD] measuring stick butter question
Does anyone have any tips for measuring stick butter, like if a recipe
calls for 2 or 3 tablespoons? It would be nice if they made some type
of slicer that would slice a stick of butter into tablespoons or
teaspoons, but I doubt something lie that exists. Any suggestions will
be greatly appreciated.
