Butter amounts -- typo or just buttery

The crust calls for 3/4C of butter (1 1/2 sticks), the filling 3/4 stick. Pretty buttery crust "Not that there's anything wrong with that".

Consistent measurements would be helpful -- in grams would be even nicer.

Butter ...

Sorry about that but I thought that every one knew that a stick of butter is 1/2 C !! simple mistake ...

One of us misses the point

The crust calls for 3/4 CUP of butter. One STICK of butter is 1/2 C. Therefore, this measure (3/4 CUP) is equal to 1 1/2 STICKS of butter.

The filling calls for 3/4 STICK of butter. 3/4 STICK of butter is 3/4 of 1/2 C of butter.

So, Khaled -- make this clear for me. There are 454grams of butter in 1lb, or about 115G per stick. How many grams of butter would you like in the crust and the filling?

Butter....

Then use 172.5 g in the crust and 86.25 g in the filling ...
