1 cup of butter is equivalent to 2 sticks of butter.

A cup is a common unit of  measurement used in cooking,  

especially in the United  States, to quantify ingredients.

In the case of butter, one stick  is typically equivalent to 1/2 cup,  

which is also 4 ounces or approximately 113 grams.

Butter is often sold in packages with four sticks,  which together equal 1 pound, or 16 ounces.

To determine the equivalent of 1 cup of butter,  

you would need to use two sticks,  as each stick represents half a cup.

When measuring out butter for recipes,  

it is crucial to be precise in order to  achieve the desired consistency and flavor.

Many butter packages conveniently  include measurements marked on the  

wrapper, making it easy to cut the  precise amount needed for a recipe.

In summary, when a recipe calls for 1  cup of butter, you should use 2 sticks,  

which provide the necessary 8 ounces or 226 grams.
