Standard Butter Conversions

$$1\ \text{stick} = 113\ \text{g} = \tfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup} = 8\ \text{tbsp} = 24\ \text{tsp} = 4\ \text{oz}$$

Two sticks make one cup (226 g). Butter density is about 0.911 g/mL, so volume in milliliters is slightly higher than weight in grams.

Example

A recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter. That is one stick, 113 g, or 8 tablespoons.
