    Hi, I know this is an older post but I notice the butter measurements to be off - for 1x the recipe you state 2 sticks butter, 1 cup, but the measurements on the 2x and 3x don't add up. Can you clarify please.

      Hi Kate the recipe calls for 1 cup of butter. If you are doubling the recipe you would need two cups of butter. There was something wonky with the recipe card but I have fixed now. Thanks!
