Frequently asked questions
Are European butter sticks the same?
No. European butter is sold in 250 g blocks. 1 European block ≈ 2.2 U.S. sticks.
Is butter the same weight as flour?
No — butter is dense (113 g per half cup), while flour is light (60 g per half cup). Always weigh dry and fat ingredients separately.
Does melted butter weigh the same?
Yes by weight, but the volume increases slightly. Always measure butter before melting to keep recipes accurate.
What about salted vs unsalted?
Same weight per stick. Salt content varies (typically 1.5–2% by weight). For baking, use unsalted and add salt separately for control.
