Frequently asked questions
How many tablespoons are in a stick of butter?
One US stick of butter is 8 tablespoons. It also equals half a cup, 4 ounces, or 113.4 grams, so the wrapper usually prints a tablespoon scale along the side.
How many grams are in a stick of butter?
A US stick of butter is 113.4 grams, which rounds to about 113 grams. Two sticks make 226.8 grams, and four sticks make one pound at 453.6 grams.
How many sticks of butter make a cup?
Two sticks of butter make one cup. Since one stick is half a cup, doubling it gives a full cup, which is 16 tablespoons, 8 ounces, or 226.8 grams.
Is a US stick the same everywhere?
No. This converter uses the US stick of 113.4 grams. Butter in Europe and Australia is sold by weight, usually in 250 gram blocks, and is not pre-cut into sticks.
Why use 113.4 grams instead of 113 grams?
113.4 grams is the precise weight of a quarter-pound US stick. Rounding to 113 grams is fine for cooking, but the exact value keeps conversions between units consistent.
