Which method is used to measure butter or margarine from the wrapper?

• A. Cut on the desired line on the wrapper
• B. Displacement Method
• C. Use a scale to weigh butter
• D. Sift before measuring

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is using the packaging to portion ingredients. Butter sticks are sold with printed measurement marks on the wrapper that align with standard portions (tablespoons, cups, etc.). Cutting along the line gives exactly the amount you need without removing the butter from the wrapper or making a mess. This method is fast, convenient, and keeps the butter clean while staying true to the recipe’s intended measurements.

The other methods don’t fit this situation. The displacement method is for finding volume by water displacement, which isn’t how you portion butter from a wrapper. Weighing on a scale is accurate but doesn’t use the wrapper’s pre-marked portions. Sifting is for dry ingredients and isn’t relevant to butter measurement.
