Why Cup-to-Grams Accuracy Matters for Butter
Small cup changes create big weight differences. For butter, 2 1/2 cups is about 567g, but just 1/4 cup more jumps to 624g.
This is why cup-based recipes can drift: packed, loose, or sifted volume can shift your actual grams. Using grams keeps hydration and texture consistent across batches.
