Butter Measurement Facts
In the US, butter is sold in 1-pound boxes containing 4 sticks, each stick being 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons, 113 grams, 4 ounces). The wrapper on each stick is pre-marked in tablespoon increments, making it easy to cut accurate amounts without measuring.
Outside the US, butter is rarely sold in sticks. In the UK and Europe, butter is typically sold in 250g blocks, so converting to grams is the most practical approach. One UK block = approximately 2.2 US sticks.
