Powdered milk is dehydrated cow's milk ground to a fine powder, used to enrich bread doughs, thicken sauces, and reconstitute with water for drinking. One metric cup (250 ml) of nonfat dry milk powder weighs around 128 grams or 4.52 ounces. Recipes often call for it in tablespoons, where one tablespoon weighs about 8 grams.

Milk powders vary in density between brands and between nonfat and full-fat versions, so weighing in grams is more reliable than scooping. This page converts powdered milk between grams, cups, tablespoons, and more for any recipe.

Powdered Milk to Liquid Milk Calculator

Milk is the liquid starting point that powdered milk comes from. To use powdered in place of liquid milk, mix about 4 tablespoons of powder with 1 cup of water; the result is close in texture and richness, though fresh milk gives a cleaner dairy flavour. See milk in ounces.

Powdered milk is dehydrated milk solids on their own, while condensed milk is a thick liquid blend of milk solids, water, and added sugar. They serve different roles: powder reconstitutes into liquid milk, while condensed milk goes straight into desserts and sweet sauces. See condensed milk in ounces.

Powdered and evaporated milk both concentrate milk solids, but powder is fully dehydrated while evaporated milk keeps about 40% of its water. Reconstituted powdered milk can stand in for evaporated milk by mixing 1 cup of powder with 1 1/2 cups of water. See evaporated milk in ounces.
