One cup, side by side
How many sticks of butter is a cup?
Two. A US stick of butter is a defined quantity rather than a measured one: half a cup, 8 tablespoons, 4 ounces. Four avoirdupois ounces is 113.4 g, which the wrapper rounds to 113 g; two of them make 226.8 g, which King Arthur and this site both round to 227 g per cup. Halve that and you get the 113.5 g in the table above — the same stick, arrived at from the other end, and the size of the rounding is the whole of the difference. It makes butter the one ingredient you can convert by reading the wrapper.
