About this conversion

Cups to grams for butter is needed when US recipes specify butter in cups or sticks (each stick = 1/2 cup = 113.5 g) and you need grams for a metric scale. 1 cup of butter = 227 g (this is 2 US sticks). Butter is denser than flour or sugar, making cup measurement more consistent, but gram weights are still more accurate for professional baking. Note: salted and unsalted butter weigh the same. Clarified butter (ghee) has a slightly different density. Margarine can usually be substituted at equal weights. European butter sticks may differ in size from US sticks — always use grams when baking from international recipes.
