Measuring butter

You don’t need a measuring cup to measure butter. The markings on the wrapper provide an easy way to cut off the amount you need.

Remember, one stick is ½ cup or 8 Tablespoons.

Cups Sticks Pounds Tablespoons
½ 1 ¼ 8
¼ ½ 1/8 4
1/3 ½ + (1 1/3 Tablespoons)   5 1/3
2/3 1 + (2 2/3 Tablespoons)   10 2/3
¾ 3/8 12
1 2 ½ 16
2 4 1 32

Please note that whipped butter cannot be measured by volume.
