About Butter

Butter is the gift conversion: US wrappers print tablespoon marks, and the math is clean — 1 stick = ½ cup = 113 g = 8 tbsp. European-style butters carry 82–85% butterfat (vs the US 80% minimum): croissants and shortbread taste the difference. Melted and softened butter weigh identically; the recipes calling for each depend on the state for creaming or blending.
