125 Grams of Butter to Cups
125 grams of butter equals ½ cup (0.55 US cups), based on 227 g per cup (level cup). In the kitchen, measure 9 tbsp. For best results, weigh butter with a scale — cup measurements vary with how the cup is filled.
| US cups | ½ cup (0.55 cups) |
|---|---|
| Measured as | 9 tbsp |
| Ounces (weight) | 4.4 oz |
| Tablespoons (level) | about 8.8 tbsp |
| Density used | 227 g per US cup |
How to measure 125 g of butter without a scale
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.
