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.

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.

Results use a US customary cup (236.588ml). Spoon and level dry ingredients unless the ingredient name or recipe specifies packed, sifted, melted, chopped, or another condition. Brand, humidity, packing, and measuring technique can change a volume-based result. Reviewed August 15, 2026 against USDA FoodData Central and King Arthur Baking Ingredient Weight Chart.

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:

Questions

How many cups is 250g of butter?

250 grams of butter is 1.1 cups — 1 cup plus about 1½ tablespoons. A 250g European block is just over a US cup.

How many grams is a stick of butter?

One US stick of butter is 113 grams (4 oz, ½ cup, 8 tablespoons). Try our butter converter at /butter-converter for any stick amount.

How do I measure butter without a scale?

US butter wrappers have tablespoon markings — slice at the line. For tubs or unmarked blocks, pack the butter into a dry measuring cup, press out air pockets, and level it.

Does melted butter measure the same as solid?

By weight, yes — melting changes nothing. By volume it is nearly identical too (within a few percent), but recipes mean solid butter unless they say melted, because the state affects texture.
