How to Measure Butter in Cups
Butter is one of the easiest ingredients to measure accurately because US butter sticks come pre-portioned. One standard US stick equals ½ cup (113.5 grams), and two sticks equal 1 cup (227 grams). The tablespoon markings printed on the wrapper make it even easier to cut precise amounts.
For melted butter, pour into a liquid measuring cup and read at eye level. For softened or cold butter, pack it firmly into a dry measuring cup to eliminate air pockets, or simply weigh it. Use the calculator above to convert any cup measurement to grams.
Pro tip: When a recipe calls for softened butter by cup, the weight is still 227g per cup. Pack it into the measuring cup firmly and level the top — but for precision baking, weighing is always more reliable than volumetric measurement.
