How do you measure butter equivalents?
To measure butter equivalents, it is helpful to know that 1 stick of butter is equal to 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons. This is important information to have because many baking recipes call for specific amounts of butter. Precise measurements are crucial in baking as they can affect the texture and consistency of the final product.
What is the difference between margarine and butter?

How do you measure butter before baking?
To start cooking or baking, carefully read the recipe. For example, if the recipe calls for “1 cup butter, melted,” you have to measure one cup of butter, then melt it. If it calls for “1 cup melted butter,” melt it before measuring. The same applies to measuring “1 cup flour, sifted” and “1 cup sifted flour.”
How do you measure a stick of butter?
A stick of butter may also show measurements printed for half cup and quarter cup. Cutting each stick with a sharp knife is a common method for measuring butter by the tablespoon. Remove the butter wrapper before adding to a recipe. One block of butter is 450g-500g (depending on the brand) which is approximately 2 cups of butter (or four sticks).
