A European recipe calls for 100 g butter — how many sticks is that?

100 g ÷ 113 g per stick ≈ 0.88 of a stick, or just under 1 US stick. Most US butter wrappers have tablespoon markings — 100 g is roughly 7 tablespoons (each stick has 8 tablespoons marked at 14.2 g each).

My recipe says 3/4 cup butter — how many grams and sticks is that?

3/4 cup × 227 g ≈ 170 g, which is about 1.5 sticks (1 stick + half of a second stick, or 12 tablespoons using the wrapper markings).

Butter: 227 Grams

1 US stick of butter = 1/2 cup = 113 g.

In the US, butter is commonly sold in sticks, where 1 stick = 1/2 cup = 113 g (about 4 oz) — printed measurement marks on the wrapper make it easy to cut a stick into tablespoons or fractions of a cup without a scale. A full cup of butter (2 sticks) weighs about 227 g, which is the reference used here.
