Someone commented on one of my recipes wanting to know how many grams are in a stick of butter. Since I was so excited to receive a comment from someone other than my mom, I decided to answer the question with a post.

I did some research on What’s Cooking America and found a page that lists British Cooking Equivalents vs. American Cooking Equivalents. It included comparisons for…

• Dry/Weight Measurements
• Liquid or Volume Measurements
• Conversions for Ingredients commonly used in baking
• Oven temperatures

In case you are wondering, here’s the answer to the question.

How many grams are in a stick of butter?

8 tablespoons of butter (salted or unsalted) = 1 stick = 1/2 cup which is the equivalent of 4 ounces or 113 grams

Thanks for the comment. I learned something new!
