Measuring 125g of butter without a scale
No scale? 125 g of butter is about 0.55 cup, or roughly 9 tablespoons using standard US measuring cups and spoons. Spoon it in and level off the top instead of scooping, which packs in extra.
125 grams is exactly half of a standard European 250g butter block, which makes it one of the cleanest cuts you can make without any scale at all. It lands at about 0.55 cup, or close to 9 tablespoons. You will see it in continental recipes for tarts, pound cakes, and enriched doughs that are written around the metric block. If your butter comes as a 250g foil-wrapped brick, simply halve it lengthwise and you have this amount ready to go.
