Portion of butter (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pat

'portion 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 "'Light touch, on the back say (3)'" , "Touch; name" , "Hit lightly" , "Girl" , "Touch lightly - bit of butter?" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Telegraph, the Newsday.com, The Washington Post Sunday and the Newsday.
