Weigh out four ounces of butter, melt it and pour it into your measuring cup. Four ounces of butter in weight should be equal to 4 fluid ounces in your measuring cup. This is equal to 1/2 cup in American measures.

So each stick weighs 4 ounces. When you melt it, a stick will measure 1/2 cup or 4 fluid ounces. Now don't ask me to convert that to the metric system... I haven't a clue! : Dx Debs Dust Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531253622708240031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857071395607736460.post-34817701817266276362014-10-08T11:02:40.802+01:002014-10-08T11:02:40.802+01:00Janice read my mind I was just about to ask the bu...Janice read my mind I was just about to ask the butter question! Its virtually impossible to measure butter and get it back out of the cup without creating a right mess, or is that just me ;) Note to self 1 stick = 2 ounces!<br /><br />Thanks Debs very useful post.<br /><br />AngelaAngela M - Garden Tea Cakes and Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10665533361469223445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857071395607736460.post-82318876470197633352014-10-07T09:07:37.628+01:002014-10-07T09:07:37.628+01:00I purchased those american cup measures from amazo...I purchased those american cup measures from amazon, I absolutely love them, so cute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857071395607736460.post-89673256943905391432014-10-06T14:53:50.128+01:002014-10-06T14:53:50.128+01:00I know, Sisley!

I find the Pyrex jug matches the American cup sizes perfectly. In the States, a stick of butter weighs four ounces which is equivalent to 1/2 cup. : D Debs Dust Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531253622708240031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857071395607736460.post-49620993302544900182014-10-06T12:59:20.838+01:002014-10-06T12:59:20.838+01:00I bought some measuring cups from a US place and m...I bought some measuring cups from a US place and my friend gave me some when she visited from America and the cups are completely different sizes. I tested them out with flour and the amounts were were so different for the 'same' size cups! <br />I agree with Janice, the sticks of butter is what puts me off American recipes. I've googled it before and the conversions all change too.
