Show the math
Every measure is a fixed fraction of a US stick of butter:
1 stick = ½ cup = 8 tbsp = 4 oz ≈ 113 g
US butter is sold in sticks, each wrapped with tablespoon marks. European butter usually comes in 250 g blocks instead, so converting to grams is the safest way to follow a recipe written for the other system.
