Frequently Asked Questions

How many sticks of butter are in a cup?

Two US sticks make one cup, which is 16 tablespoons or about 227 grams. A half-cup is one stick.

Does butter weigh the same as water?

No. Butter is less dense than water, so a cup weighs about 227 grams rather than 240 grams. Weighing is more reliable than volume for baking.
