butter pat

Small dairy square

A butter pat is a small, individual portion of butter, typically shaped into a square or round and served at the table.

These are the pre-formed pieces you find at restaurants or hotels, often wrapped in foil or sitting on a small dish.

A butter pat can also refer to a small wooden paddle used for shaping butter, or the decorative mold that creates designs on butter's surface.
