How many cups equal 1 square of butter?
[1 stick Butter = 1/4 pound = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 4 oz =
115 g]
1 "block" of butter is usually not 1 stick, but a full pound
block.
i.e. 1 block of butter = 4 sticks = 1 pound = 2 cups = 32
tablespoons = 16 oz = 454 g
Many recipes online confuse block and stick, so if you see
"block", use some common sense to decide which one is meant. In
cookbooks it is nearly always the full pound block.
In Europe, a standard block of butter is usually 250 g (about 9
oz.), but recipes tend to be give by weight, not volume/shape.
