badd7, 1 cup butter = 250g (measured in a standard N.Z. measuring cup, then weighed on digital scales), so 2/3 cup = 166.666g/167g or close enough to 170g.:-))

thanks.a bit hit and miss though.will try about 200and c wot happens.thanks
badd7, do you have a 1 cup measuring cup!If so fill it 1/3 full with water then add the butter, bit by bit until the cup is full to the top.Pour the water off and what's left will equal 2/3 cup butter. OR alternatively, if you use the 50g markings on the butter wrapper, then it's a smidgeon over 3 of those (150g) + 1 tbsp (15g).:-))

It's 2/3rds of a cup. A cup is 250mL. The bulk density of butter is around 900kg/m³.
So (2/3 x 250mL x 900kg/m³ / 1 000mL/L / 1 000L/m³) = 0.150kg = 150g

I just went to a converter. Using the Aussie cup 2/3rds of a cup of butter = just a smidgeon under 160g.
I like the water method as suggested by 245sam best of all.

I'm glad you typed that 245sam, saved me doing it. It also works for peanut butter :)

three options. the water in a cup trick - using a converter with google (something like 1/3cup of butter in grams) will find you the answer.

If you can work out 1/3 of a cup for water - couldnt you just double that amount and put a line on the cup (on the outside) and fill with butter to the mark!
