Frequently Asked Questions

How many cups is 100g of butter?

How many grams are in 1 cup of butter?

One US cup of butter weighs about 227 grams, one tablespoon about 14.19 grams, and one teaspoon about 4.73 grams. This page divides 100 grams by that cup weight.

Is 100g of butter the same as 100g of all-purpose flour?

No. 100g of butter is ½ cup, while 100g of all-purpose flour is ¾ cup. Same weight on the scale, different volume in the cup, because the two have different densities.

How do I measure 100g of butter without a scale?

Is it better to weigh butter or measure it in cups?

Weighing is more accurate, especially in baking, because it removes the variation in how the butter is packed into the cup. If you have no scale, use the cup figure above and keep your measuring method consistent across the whole recipe.
