Measuring 200g of butter without a scale
No scale? 200 g of butter is about ⅞ cup (0.88 cups), or roughly 14 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.
200 grams of butter, close to seven-eighths of a cup, is the rich end of the spectrum, the amount behind shortbread, all-butter puff pastry, and pound cakes where fat does the heavy lifting. It is just shy of two US sticks, or about 14 tablespoons. For pastry at this scale, keep the butter cold and cubed straight from the fridge so it stays in distinct flakes; for shortbread, let it soften so it creams smoothly with the sugar into a sandy, tender dough.
