Fill a liquid measuring cup with water equal to the amount of butter you need (e.g., if you need 1/2 cup butter, put 1/2 cup water in the measuring cup), and add chunks of butter until the water doubles its original volume (in this example, to 1 cup).
Likewise, people ask, can you measure butter in a measuring cup?
In the US butter can be measured in cups but measurements are often also given in "sticks". The wrapping on each stick indicates tablespoon measures (8 tablespoons per stick). So if you are using cup measures you could pack the butter into a measuring cup or below is a ready reckoner which may help if you have scales.

Subsequently, one may also ask, how can I measure butter without a scale?
- Fill a glass measuring up to the 4-oz -- or 1/2-cup -- mark with water.
- Add four to the weight of butter required in your recipe. For instance, if your recipe calls for 6 oz.
- Add chunks of butter until it reaches the total volume you calculated from your recipe amount plus four.
Convert 60 grams or g of butter to cups. 60 grams butter equals 1/4 cup.
