How many grams is 8 teaspoons of butter?
Answer
One US teaspoon (4.93 ml) of butter weighs 4.73 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173430 “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup” = 227 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons.
8 teaspoons of butter equals 37.8 grams; the way back, from grams to teaspoons, is the Grams to Teaspoons converter.
8 US teaspoons of butter is also 2 2/3 US tablespoons — the same 37.8 grams.
This is the level US teaspoon of 4.93 ml. A recipe written for the metric teaspoon of 5 ml means 1.4 % more: 38.4 grams.
How 8 teaspoons of butter was converted to grams
One US teaspoon of butter weighs 4.73 grams (four point seven three), so multiply 8 by (227 ÷ 48).
8 × (227 ÷ 48) g
≈37.8 grams
(thirty-seven point eight grams)
The weight of the teaspoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173430 “Butter, without salt”, portion “1 cup” = 227 grams, and 1 US cup = 48 US teaspoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a teaspoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

This page starts from teaspoons and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many teaspoons a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to teaspoons converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of butter is 21.1 teaspoons there.
