When butter stick math still causes trouble
The confusion usually starts when recipes mix cups, sticks, and grams in different sources. The safest fix is to convert everything into one system before you start creaming or melting.
If the butter is browned or melted, the weight target is still the same. What changes is the moisture and the way that butter behaves in the batter.
