Why dry milk measurements vary
Powdered milk does not have one perfect volume conversion. Instant nonfat powder is usually lighter and fluffier; regular nonfat and whole milk powders can be denser in the cup.
This converter uses practical kitchen defaults and lets you enter a custom grams-per-cup value if your label gives a different serving weight.
