Butter Measurement Chart
US butter comes in 1-pound packages of four sticks, and most American recipes measure butter in sticks or tablespoons. Here are the standard equivalents:
| Sticks | Cups | Tablespoons | Grams | Ounces |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ¼ | ⅛ | 2 | 28g | 1.0 oz |
| ½ | ¼ | 4 | 57g | 2.0 oz |
| 1 | ½ | 8 | 113g | 4.0 oz |
| 1½ | ¾ | 12 | 170g | 6.0 oz |
| 2 | 1 | 16 | 227g | 8.0 oz |
| 3 | 1½ | 24 | 340g | 12.0 oz |
| 4 | 2 | 32 | 454g | 16.0 oz |
US Sticks vs European Blocks
Outside the US, butter is usually sold in 250g or 500g blocks and recipes call for butter by weight. A 250g European block equals about 2¼ US sticks (1 cup plus 1½ tablespoons). If you're following a European recipe, the most reliable approach is to weigh your butter in grams — or use the converter above to translate to sticks and tablespoons.
One more wrinkle: in parts of the western US, butter is sold in shorter, stubbier sticks ("Western stubbies"), but they weigh the same 113g per stick — only the shape differs.
