How to measure milk accurately

Whole milk is slightly heavier than water. Skim milk weighs almost the same.

Pour liquids into a clear liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the line at eye level. Thick dairy like sour cream is spooned in and leveled.

For the most reliable result, weigh milk on a digital kitchen scale: 244 g for every cup the recipe asks for.
