3/4 Cup of Butter in Grams
3/4 cup of butter weighs 170 grams (about 6 oz), based on 227 g per US cup (level cup). That's the same as 12 tablespoons of butter. When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.
Almost no measuring set has a 3/4 cup. Build it as 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup (114 g + 57 g), or as 3 × 1/4 cup (57 g each).

No 3/4 cup measure? Use spoons
3/4 cup is exactly 12 tablespoons, which is 170 g of butter. Measuring spoons are stamped to a tighter tolerance than cups, so for small amounts the spoon route is usually the more accurate one even when you do own the cup.
Halving and doubling 3/4 cup
Scaling a recipe is the usual reason this conversion comes up, and grams scale cleanly where cup fractions do not:
| Recipe | Cups | Grams | Spoons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half | ⅜ cup | 85 g | 6 tablespoons |
| As written | ¾ cup | 170 g | 12 tablespoons |
| Double | 1 ½ cups | 341 g | 24 tablespoons |

How to measure 3/4 cup of butter
In the US, butter is easiest to measure by the wrapper: one stick is ½ cup = 8 tbsp = 113 g, and the wrapper is printed with tablespoon marks. For amounts that aren’t clean stick fractions, weigh it — cutting soft butter into a measuring cup traps air pockets.
