Why Does 1 Cup of Whole Milk Vary?
The weight of 1 cup depends on how you measure. USDA standard (spooned) = 244g.
Standard pour
Pour liquid into measuring cup at eye level. For liquids, density is consistent regardless of technique.
ConsistentAbout Whole Milk Density
Whole milk is slightly denser than water. 1 cup (240ml) = 244g. The fat content (3.25%) barely affects density. For baking, 1 cup milk = 240ml = 244g. Most recipes assume whole milk unless specified.
Pro tip: For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale. Weight measurements eliminate the variability of cup measurement entirely. USDA values shown are based on the spooned & leveled method.
