There are a number of ways of finding out how many tablespoons equals one third of a cup of stick butter. The cup size is obviously crucial when measuring anything, but the average cup will hold approximately 270 grams of butter, or 24 tablespoons. Therefore, one third of a cup will hold 90 grams, or eight tablespoons of stick butter.
Physically measuring the butter out tablespoon by tablespoon will enable you to see that there are eight tablespoons of butter in one third of an average cup. Eight tablespoons equals 90 grams of butter, as one tablespoon is equal to 15 grams.
- Cut the stick butter at the measurements provided
Some brands of stick butter have a measurement printed on the packaging, which enables people to measure out accurately by simply cutting the butter at the designated marks provided.
- Using a stick butter converter
There is a website that converts items from any unit of measurement to any other unit of measurement, and stick butter is included in this list of conversions. The website address is www.traditionaloven.com.
Stick butter is an American measurement of butter when a whole stick is equivalent to just over 113 grams of butter. It would therefore take nearly a full stick of butter to fill one third of an average cup size. The fact that tablespoons hold 15ml of liquid also means that they will hold the equivalent in solids, which are measured in grams. There are just over nine tablespoons of butter in the average stick butter packet.
