One US cup of butter weighs 227 grams (8 oz), which equals exactly 2 American butter sticks. European recipes often list butter in grams, while American recipes use cups or sticks — this converter handles both.
Butter is one of the easiest ingredients to convert: the relationship between grams and cups is consistent because butter is a solid, dense fat. Common amounts to remember: ½ cup = 113g (1 stick), ¼ cup = 57g.
Note: this calculator is for solid butter. Melted or clarified butter has a slightly different volume-to-weight ratio.
