Baking Science & Practical Guide
50 grams of butter is the standard baseline measure for small-batch roux (such as a 500ml milk béchamel sauce), individual tart shells, and cookie glazes. In US measurements, 50 grams equals 0.44 sticks (almost exactly 3 1/2 tablespoons, or 1/4 cup minus 1 teaspoon).
For French sauces, 50g butter cooked with 50g flour forms the classic 1:1 roux ratio. In sweet baking, 50g melted butter is the standard enrichment for breakfast pancake and waffle batters.
