Measuring butter accurately
Butter is easy to measure precisely because US sticks are printed with tablespoon marks: one stick is 8 tablespoons, half a cup, and 113 g, so two sticks make the 227 g cup above. Working from a European block with no markings? Weigh it — a 250 g block is about 2.2 sticks. One thing worth knowing: butter's weight doesn't change when it softens or melts, only its volume does, so melted butter packed into a cup measures out more than the recipe wants. Measure it cold by the stick marks, or weigh it, for a repeatable result. Salted and unsalted weigh the same; that choice is about controlling the salt in the recipe, not the amount of fat.
1 cup = 2 US sticks = 16 tablespoons = 227 g. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to get the same result every time is to weigh butter on a kitchen scale and aim for the gram figure above. The conversions on this page are based on the US cup of about 236.6 ml.
