Butter grams to cups at a glance

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.

Fats & Oils compared by cup weight

Swapping one type for another changes the weight of a cup, so a recipe written in cups is not portable between them:

Measuring butter without air pockets

Pressed into a dry measuring cup, butter traps pockets of air that can leave a "1 cup" measure 34g light. Press it firmly into the corners and level the top, or weigh it — a full cup is 227g.
