Measuring 250g of butter without a scale
No scale? 250 g of butter is about 1⅛ cups (1.1 cups), or roughly 1 cup + 2 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.
250 grams is a full European butter block and tips just past the one-cup mark, about 1.1 cups or two and a quarter US sticks. This is large-batch fat: a tray of brownies, a generous batch of cookies, or a laminated dough. Watch the common slip-up here, since a 250g metric block does not equal one US cup; it is a bit more, so a recipe calling for exactly one cup needs roughly 23g shaved off. When a recipe lists a whole block, 250g is almost always what it means.
