For
New years tea at 2 pm. My scales have just died!!!!

How can I tell what 85g of butter is?!

Does it not have the markings on the packaging?

Have a look at the wrapper they often have weights marked along the top.

If it's a regular block... 25g is about 2cm wide.

It's a tub of butter and I have a tablespoon lol

Just looked at my pack of butter, according to its markings 85g will measure very approx just under 4cm in length.

Do you have anything you know to be 100g or even 200g so you can guestimate?

Amount : 85 grams (g of butter)
Equals : 6 tablespoons (tbsp / butter)

this should help you

Twins broke my scales beofre xmas.... they were using it as a spring board...

Thank you so much!!! My lemon buttercream has turned out spot on with that coffee dog! X
