How many grams is one stick of butter?

One US stick of butter is about 113 grams, which is a quarter of a pound. It is also half a cup, 8 tablespoons or 4 ounces. Most American butter wrappers are printed with tablespoon markings, so you can cut what you need without unwrapping the whole stick.

How many tablespoons are in a stick of butter?

Eight tablespoons. Since a stick is half a cup and a cup is 16 tablespoons, a stick is 8. That makes common fractions easy: half a stick is 4 tablespoons, and a quarter stick is 2.

Is European butter the same as a US stick?

The butter is similar, but it is not sold in sticks. European butter usually comes in 250 gram blocks. So a US stick at 113 grams is a little under half a typical European block. Converting to grams is the safest way to match an American recipe.
