How to measure powdered milk

Powdered milk is extremely light — never pack it into the cup.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure powdered milk is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Powdered milk conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of powdered milk weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Powdered milk is less dense than water (68 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
