Beurre: Une cuillère à café


Explanation:
Probably part of a receipe which is usually presented in the form of a list
3 Onions
2 tablespoons of butter
and so on
In French, I would reverse it and also I think that "cafe"size seems more appropriate.

one tablespoon of butter=14 grammes de beurre


Explanation:
If you were using American and French cookbooks, you would know this about butter:
113gr = 4 ounces
= 8 tablespoons!
