Butter wrappers are printed with measurement information on them to keep it simple. One stick equals ½ cup or 8 tablespoons. If you find yourself without the wrapper for reference, the following conversion table will help:
Cups | Sticks | Pounds | Tablespoons |
---|---|---|---|
¼ | ½ | ⅛ | 4 |
⅓ | ½ + (1 ⅓ Tablespoons) | 5 ⅓ | |
½ | 1 | ¼ | 8 |
⅔ | 1 + (2 ⅔ Tablespoons) | 10 ⅔ | |
¾ | 1½ | ⅜ | 12 |
1 | 2 | ½ | 16 |
2 | 4 | 1 | 32 |
Please note that whipped butter cannot be measured by volume.
