Key Equivalents
1 stick = ½ cup = 8 tbsp = 113g = 4 oz = ¼ lb European vs. US Butter
European recipes often specify butter in grams. European butter has a higher fat content (82–84% vs. 80% US) which can affect flakiness in pastry. For most recipes, the weight difference is negligible.
Pro Tip
For pastry and croissants, use a kitchen scale to measure butter by weight — it's more accurate than by volume (butter doesn't pack consistently).
