Word of the Day: Pat
Pat is the word used when we count little pieces of butter.
A pat of butter is usually square-shaped and flat. It’s not a cube.
Sometimes, at a restaurant or on a plane, we will get little single servings or pats of butter wrapped in foil or plastic.
Sometimes, when reading a recipe, it will say to add some pats of butter.
Now, the next time you are at a restaurant or reading an English-language cookbook, you know what a pat of butter is.
