One standard US stick of butter weighs 113 grams (4 ounces) and equals half a cup or 8 tablespoons. Butter is a dairy product made from churning milk or cream, separating the solid fat (butter) from the liquid (buttermilk). It contains at least 80% butterfat in the US and 82% in Europe. The higher fat content in European butter gives baked goods a flakier texture and richer flavor.
