Bit of butter (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pat

'bit of butter' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pat that I've seen before include "Some butter, maybe" , "Conveniently; light touch" , "Touch; name" , "Slick; dab" , "Gentle stroke of the hand with fluent repetition" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.
