Where 244 g comes from

USDA FoodData Central: 1 cup of “Milk, whole, 3.25% milkfat, with added vitamin D” = 244 g. FDC 171265

King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (“Milk (fresh)”): 227 g per cup. Chart

This page uses 244 g (USDA). The two sources differ by 17 g (6.97%): that gap is about how firmly the cup is filled, not an error in either.

Whole milk weighs 244 g a cup in USDA's data, a touch heavier than water. King Arthur rounds every cup of liquid to 8 oz (227 g), which is why its milk and water figures look low. Skim and 2% milk weigh almost the same as whole.

How to measure milk by the cup

Use a liquid measuring jug on a flat surface and read the line at eye level, or weigh it: for liquids a scale is just as quick.
