First Officer was on base leg to BTV and descending to Traffic Pattern Altitude (TPA) of 1;800 FT MSL when passing through 2;000 FT MSL; the EGPWS 'TERRAIN' aural alert was issued. The First Officer stopped the descent and initiated a shallow climb to clear the aural alert; leveled momentarily; then resumed the scheduled descent to the field with no further incident. Both the Captain and First Officer verified that no terrain on the MFD was in conflict with the aircraft and a visual check of the surrounding terrain was verified. No further alerts were issued and the approach was completed per normal company profile.
