Two clean matches
Flour: with the spoon-and-level method, a cup of all-purpose flour weighs 120 grams, so 60 g is exactly ½ cup.
Water: water weighs 1 gram per milliliter, and a US quarter cup holds 59 mL. So 60 g of water, or of milk, which is only slightly heavier, is a quarter cup.
60 grams and half a stick of butter
Half a US stick of butter is 57 grams, so 60 grams is half a stick plus a little under a teaspoon. In cookies and cakes, using half a stick for 60 g works fine. For laminated dough or shortbread, where butter ratio matters more, weigh it.
