Explanation:
I presume "4 tbsp. butter, divided" appears on the ingredient list. It means that you need to keep the 4 tablespoons of butter separated from each other. The recipe that follows would probably ask you to use 1 tablespoon for the pan first, and then 2 tablespoons for something else, and the rest.... You're not supposed to put in all 5 tablespoons of butter at once.
