Butter Grams to Cups

One cup of butter weighs 227 grams — exactly two US sticks or half a pound. Butter is the rare ingredient where US recipes give you three units at once: sticks, cups, and tablespoons.

The simplest conversions to remember: 1 stick = 113g = ½ cup = 8 tablespoons. European recipes weigh butter in grams, and European blocks are 250g — about 2¼ sticks. For stick-specific conversions, see our dedicated butter converter.
