A stick of butter [presuming it's the 4 to a pack] approximates 115g [just under]. The issue with using US and UK recipes is that all the measurements [apart from weights requiring conversion to grams and kg] are not the same as those used in Australia. ie. a US or UK cup or spoon is not the same as in OZ. Therefore, a US or UK recipe needs a bit of math to convert to OZ measurements. Not an issue if the recipe doesn't hinge on preciseness.

The butter I buy is eight sticks in a one pound package. All you have to do is read the individual wrapper. Each wrapper shows the amount of tablespoons, cups and ounces.

Butter is wrapped in 1 pound packages, and there are 4 sticks in a package so 1 stick is 1/4 pound. A pound is 16 ounces, therefore a stick is 4 ounces. I'm surprised I remember that...up here in Canada we use grams and kilograms now :)

Request: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

Archived on 09/10/2009

As I am in Australia, could you please tell me what quantity 1 stick of butter is in recipes?

By Wendyann from Albion Park, NSW Australia

Feedback:

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

The way they normally sell butter in the States is in pound packages and there are four individually wrapped sticks in each package. Each stick is 1/4 pound or 4 oz. It would equal 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons. (06/09/2009)

By jess

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

Greatly appreciated, will now be able to make those nice recipes. (06/09/2009)

By wendyann

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

Some companies here in the States are now selling that pound of butter in eight sticks instead of four sticks. Land o' Lakes is the brand I use and they recently switched to the eight sticks per pound.

Anyway, any stick of butter has markings on the individual wrappers here that show the tablespoon and/or cup amounts so if a recipe calls for 'a stick' you might want to find out the detailed equivalent measure. Sorry if I sound ignorant but I am curious if there are amount markings on Australia's sticks of butter? (06/10/2009)

This site should help you in figuring measurements. Substitutions and Equivalents - Basics of Cooking Lesson Series Equivalents and Substitutions

Just go to the correct page for the equivalent you need. (06/10/2009)

How much does a stick of butter weigh?

Elizabeth from Santiago, Chile

Feedback:

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

Sticks of butter usually come in one pound packages of 4 sticks, so 1 stick equals 1/4 pound. If you buy Land O' Lakes, it has measurements on the side of the stick of butter, as well, with measurements by the tablespoon. (11/21/2007)

By Mary Jo in St. Paul

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

  • 1 stick = 1/2 a cup
  • 1 stick = 120g
  • 1 stick = 120ml
  • 1 stick = 4 ounces

I hope this helped. (08/03/2008)

By phe

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

In the USA, 1 stick of butter is 4 ounces which is 115 grams. 120 grams is a little high, by 5 grams, but that really shouldn't effect most recipes. (08/11/2008)

By Dave_C

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

How much would 3/4 stick of butter be?

Editor's Note: It would be 3/8 ths of a cup or 6 tablespoons. (12/10/2008)

Could you please explain to me how much is a stick of butter? I am in Australia and we weigh in metric.

Thanks,

Christine from Melbourne, Australia

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

One stick of butter is 8 tablespoons, and that equals 118.259 mililiters. I don't know for sure if that's what you need, but there's a good metric conversion tool at http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/conversions.htm (08/01/2006)

By Kim

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

Continued.... A stick of butter which is 8 tablespoons equals .113 kilograms. I think kilograms is what you need rather than milliliters. I hope this helps. (08/01/2006)

By Kim

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

Four sticks of butter weigh one pound, or 16 ounces. This is how we usually purchase it here in the US, in a 4 stick, one pound box. One "stick" of butter weighs 4 ounces. One stick of butter is 1/2 cup and if I'm reading my measuring cup correctly, would be somewhere between 120 to 125 ml. Hope this helps! I'm sorry I haven't learned the metric system. I believe my grandchildren have learned it. Wish one of them were here so I could ask them! (08/01/2006)

By Grandma Margie

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

Well, I don't know metric, but a stick of butter is 8 tablespoons or 4 ounces. I hope you can convert this to metric now. (08/01/2006)

UNITED STATES 1 STICK OF BUTTER EQUALS 113 GR. APROX, 1/2 CUP (NOTE: IN MEXICO 1 STICK OF BUTTER EQUALS 90 GR.) (08/02/2006)

RE: How Much is a Stick of Butter?

http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/conversions.htm

Click on the volume conversion or the metric conversion chart. In the US sticks of butter are sold 4 to a package, one package is 1 pound or 16 ounces. One stick of butter is 4 ounces. To convert this to metric I think it is - 1 stick = 4 ounces = 0.1134 killograms. I hope this helps. Bev (08/02/2006)
