1 stick = 8oz (volume) = 227g

  I love this. Google says 110gr. In this thread, people say 227 or 113. And when you buy in Europe, you are almost always going to buy 125gr, 250gr or 500gr.

    The parent has this wrong. In the US the "volume" measurements are actually kind of a lie. You can write recipes in terms of "volume" but they're actually by weight. 1 stick of butter is 4oz by weight which is defined to be 0.5 cups (i.e when you write down 1 cup butter it means 8 oz).

      Butter wasn't always standardized - that started in 1907, and as you can imagine, it wasn't universal for a bit of time (though how much, I don't know). Additionally, you can substitute a cup of some tub "butters" for the real butter called for in a recipe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter#:~:text=United%20States,-In%20the%20United&text=It%20is%20usually%20produced%20in,this%20manner%20for%20mass%20distribution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter#:~:text=United%20States....
