Expert Tips
One standard US stick of butter is 113g (1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons). Use the wrapper markings for quick measurement.
For baking, softened butter (65-68°F) creams best with sugar. Cold butter is for pie crusts and biscuits.
Melted butter takes up less volume than solid butter for the same weight. Always check your recipe's required state.
