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.
170g of butter is about 3/4 cup using Spoon & Level. For consistency, stick to one measuring method across the whole recipe.
Why Cup-to-Grams Accuracy Matters for Butter
Small cup changes create big weight differences. For butter, 3/4 cup is about 170g, but just 1/4 cup more jumps to 227g.
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.

If your recipe starts in cups, convert once to grams and bake by weight. That avoids hidden volume error and makes your result repeatable every time.
