About ounces Butter (ounces)
Ounces of Butter. Measured by US avoirdupois ounce (= 28.349523125 g exactly per NIST SP 811 — distinct from fluid ounce which is a volume unit). Mass-ounce measurement is preferred in US butcher/bakery/professional contexts where precision matters but the recipe uses imperial customary units. Common US baking ingredient packages list both ounces (mass) + grams: a stick of butter = 4 oz = 113 g; a 'pound' of flour = 16 oz = 454 g. CRITICAL: do NOT confuse with the troy ounce (~31.1 g — used only for precious metals) or the fluid ounce (volume unit = 29.57 mL). Butter is the dairy fat made by churning cream (≥80% milkfat per US FDA 21 CFR 131.110 standards; ≥82% for European-style + AOP cultured butters like Échiré, Beurre d'Isigny, Lurpak Premium). The remaining ~18% is water + milk proteins. Density ~0.911 g/mL at 20°C softened (1 US stick = 113 g = 8 tablespoons = 1/2 cup = 1/4 pound; 1 cup = 227 g). Salted butter contains 1-2% added salt; unsalted is preferred for baking (better control of recipe salt content). European-style butter (82-86% fat) is preferred for laminated doughs — croissants, puff pastry, kouign-amann — because the lower water content reduces steam during baking + produces flakier layers. Cultured butter has been fermented with lactic acid bacteria before churning, developing tangy + nutty notes (yogurt-like flavor compounds). Major brands: Land O'Lakes, Kerrygold, Plugrá, Vermont Creamery, Cabot, Organic Valley. Melting point ~32-35°C; smoke point ~150°C (lower than clarified butter or ghee at ~250°C). Density: 0.911 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).
About teaspoons Butter (teaspoons)
Teaspoons of Butter. Measured by US teaspoon (= 5 mL = 1/3 US tablespoon = 1/48 US cup per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The teaspoon is the standard US measure for small dry ingredients (salt, sugar, baking powder, spices) + small liquid amounts (vanilla extract, lemon juice). Common multiples: 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL), 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL), 1 tsp (5 mL). 'Heaping teaspoon' is informally ~50% more than level (can vary widely). Most US measuring-spoon sets include 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 1 tablespoon (= 3 tsp) increments.
