Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4 teaspoons of butter
- 1 teaspoon of butter = 4.73g
- 4 × 4.73 = 18.92g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Softened butter and melted butter measure differently by volume. Melted butter settles with no air pockets, giving a slightly higher weight per cup.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A teaspoon (tsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 4.929 milliliters or 1/3 of a tablespoon. It is the standard measure for spices, leaveners, extracts, and other small-quantity ingredients.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
