What is a stick of butter?
In the US, butter is usually sold in 1-pound boxes with four sticks. One stick weighs 4 ounces (113 g) and equals ½ cup or 8 tablespoons – the tablespoons are printed on the wrapper.
In Europe, the UK and Australia butter usually comes in 250 g blocks. One block is a bit more than 2 sticks: 1 cup plus about 1½ tablespoons.
Softened, melted, cold
The state of the butter changes how it behaves in the recipe, not its weight. Weigh it first, then soften or melt it.
