What is 1 cup of butter in grams?

1 cup of butter in grams is 227 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 454 grams and half a cup is 113.5 grams. Weighing butter by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. See the full cup to grams chart for butter, or use the converter on this page for any other amount.

How many cups is 100 grams of butter?

100 grams of butter is 0.44 cups. The conversion scales in a straight line, so 200 grams is 0.88 cups and 50 grams is 0.22 cups. Grams to cups helps when a recipe gives a weight but you measure with cups. See the full grams to cups chart for butter for more amounts.

How many tablespoons is 50 grams of butter?

50 grams of butter is 3.67 tablespoons. The ratio is fixed, so 100 grams is 7.34 tablespoons and 25 grams is 1.84 tablespoons. Tablespoons are handy for smaller amounts when you would rather not get out the scales. See the full grams to tablespoons chart for butter for the common amounts.

What is 0.25 cups of butter in tablespoons?

0.25 cups of butter is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount.

How many tablespoons are in a stick of butter?

One stick of butter is 8 US tablespoons, or half a US cup, which weighs 113.5 grams. Half a stick is 4 tablespoons and a quarter is 2 tablespoons. A stick is a US pack size, not a true measure, and the wrapper is printed with tablespoon marks so you can cut to the amount you need. In the 15 ml metric tablespoon used outside the US the same stick is 8.33 tablespoons, so weigh it when precision matters.

Butter is a staple baking fat made by churning cream, used in everything from shortcrust pastry and cakes to sauces and frostings. One metric cup (250 ml) of butter weighs around 227 grams or 8 ounces, which is also 2 standard sticks. Recipes from different countries measure it in cups, sticks, grams, or ounces, so a quick conversion saves the guesswork.

Butter is sold in sticks in the US and in blocks by weight elsewhere, so a recipe written for one system needs converting for the other. Measuring by weight is the most reliable way to get pastry and cake textures right.

Related Butter Ingredients

Vegetable oil is a pourable liquid fat that keeps bakes moist for longer than butter, though it skips butter's flavour and the air you beat in when creaming. Use roughly 7/8 cup of oil per cup of butter, and our butter to oil converter works out the exact amount. See our Vegetable Oil converter.

Olive oil swaps in for melted butter in many cakes and breads, adding moisture and a savoury depth. It is lighter by cup than butter (216 g vs 227 g), so weigh when substituting and reduce the quantity slightly to avoid a greasy crumb. See our Olive Oil converter.

Peanut butter swaps in for butter in cookies and no-bake bars, adding a nutty flavour and dense texture. It is heavier than butter (268 g vs 227 g per cup), so weigh when substituting and expect a richer, less flaky result. See our Peanut Butter converter.

Margarine is a plant-oil spread designed to behave like butter, with a similar fat-to-water ratio and a near-identical weight (235 g vs 227 g per cup). Swap 1:1 by volume in cakes, cookies, and pastry; expect a slightly softer crumb and a less buttery flavour. See our Margarine converter.

Shortening is 100% fat, so it is richer than butter (which is around 80% fat) and lighter per cup at 205 g vs 227 g. Swap by weight in cookies and pie crust for a flakier, sturdier result; expect to lose butter's flavour and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water per cup to compensate for the missing moisture. See our Shortening converter.

Ghee is butter with the water and milk solids cooked off, close in weight (218 g vs 227 g per cup) with a nuttier flavour and a higher smoke point. Swap 1:1 by volume; ghee browns faster. See our Ghee converter.
