GramsToCupsGrams to cups: butter
Butter weighs 227 g per US cup — exactly two US sticks. 250 g of butter is 1.1 cups, 125 g is just over half a cup, and 100 g is about 0.44 cups (roughly 7 tablespoons). If your butter is in grams and the recipe is in sticks, remember one stick = 113 g = 1/2 cup.

Butter is the friendliest conversion in the kitchen because the packaging does the maths for you: US sticks are marked in tablespoons, 8 tablespoons to a stick, 2 sticks to a cup. European-style blocks are usually 250 g — just over a cup. Melted butter measures the same by weight, so convert first, then melt.
