Ingredient questions

Butter FAQ.

How many grams are in a cup of butter?

This page uses 227g per US cup as the PantryGauge reference. The named ingredient and measurement basis matter, so do not reuse the figure for a different product state.

How should butter be measured?

Use wrapper markings or weigh butter; the direct chart entry is 113g for 8 tablespoons (½ cup). When a recipe gives grams, weighing remains the more repeatable option.

Can I use this butter conversion for another type?

Use caution. Cold, softened, and melted butter can be used differently in a recipe even when the mass is unchanged. Check the recipe's exact ingredient and, when available, its product-specific weight reference.
