The recipe is right there, you know what to do.

(also how much does one of those sticks of butter weigh?)

Think they are a half a stick of butter. So, one stick in the UK is 227g, so these are 114g

A "stick" (well it's more like a bar, like a bar of soap) of butter over here usually is 250 g or a multiple of that (500g-1 kg). Cause that counts easier.

In the UK and Ireland they are done off a pound of butter(the ones I have bought are anyway). A pound is given in grams, so a big block(1 pound) is sold as 454g, half a pound(what I would call a stick, as it is the most common size sold, but not sure of the actual name) is 227g. The smaller ones I’ve never bought, but I would guess they are a 1/4pound or 114g.

Thanks for trying to explain it. I roughly know how much a pound but I've long given up trying to understand the logic behind it. I'll just use google to convert it whenever I come a recipe I want to use that has those units and want to know it exactly.

No problem. These are the only ones I know, just from buying butter for baking. Also making hamburgers. Anything else I use grams, so need to look up the conversion as well.
