Milk Conversion: Cups to Grams
Whole milk (3.25% fat) is used in baking to add moisture, richness, and structure, and to activate dry ingredients. It contains proteins that set during baking and lactose that aids browning. It is nearly interchangeable with water in many recipes, though it adds more flavour and tenderness.
