Cup & Gram

Butter Converter

A US stick of butter is ½ cup = 8 tablespoons = 113 grams = 4 oz, and a full cup is 2 sticks (227 g). The stick wrapper is printed with tablespoon marks, so for most amounts you can just cut — no scale or measuring cup needed.

250 g Butter = 1 ⅛ cups

Exactly 1.1 cups — or measure 1 cup + 2 tbsp.

Grams of butter

Metric recipe? Every gram amount has its own page: grams of butter to cups — e.g. 125 g, 200 g, 250 g.

European butter isn't sticks

Outside the US, butter comes in 250 g blocks with gram marks — that's about 2¼ sticks. Irish and European butters also run slightly higher in butterfat, which matters for laminated doughs but not for everyday baking conversions.
