About Butter
A standard US stick is about 113 g and represents half a cup, not 125 g. A 250 g European block therefore is not exactly two sticks; read its actual weight.
Use the butter state requested by the recipe. Softened butter can hold air during creaming, while melted butter behaves differently; the same mass does not make those methods interchangeable.
Tips for measuring Butter
- Use wrapper markings only for the package they belong to.
- Weigh browned butter at the stage specified by the recipe.
Common mistakes
- Treating a 125 g portion as one standard US stick.
