About butter
Butter weighs about 227 g per cup, or 113 g per US stick, which is half a cup or 8 tablespoons. That matches the markings on the wrapper of American butter, so you can cut what you need directly.
Baking tip
In the UK and much of Europe, butter comes in 250 g or 225 g blocks and is measured in grams already. If a recipe asks for one stick, use about 113 g; for two sticks, a cup, use about 227 g.
