Same cup, different weight
Match the recipe’s wording: a packed, sifted or cooked cup weighs a different amount.

|---|---|---|
| Butter, unsalted | 227 | 0.44 |
| Butter, salted | 227 | 0.44 |
Measuring butter by the cup
Use regular unsalted butter, not whipped or light butter.
Level dry ingredients with a flat edge instead of leaving a heap, and read liquids on a flat surface at eye level. When a recipe gives grams, a kitchen scale is the surest way to match it.
