How many tablespoons is 80 grams of butter?

Answer

80 grams of butter is
5.64 US tablespoons

One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of butter weighs 14.2 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173430 “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup” = 227 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. In kitchen measures that is just over 5 5/8 tablespoons.

80 grams of butter equals 5.64 US tablespoons; the way back, from tablespoons to grams, is the Tablespoons to Grams converter.

The same 80 grams of butter is 0.35 US cups or 16.9 US teaspoons.

This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. The metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) is 1.4 % larger and takes 5.56 tablespoons; the Australian tablespoon of 20 ml is 35.3 % larger, so the same weight fills only 4.17 tablespoons of those.

How 80 grams of butter was converted to tablespoons

tablespoons = grams ÷ grams in one US tablespoon

A tablespoon is a volume, so its weight depends on the ingredient. One US tablespoon of butter weighs 14.2 grams (fourteen point two), so divide 80 by 14.1875.

80 g ÷ 14.1875 g

≈

5.64 tablespoons

(five point six four tablespoons)

The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173430 “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup” = 227 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.
