Working the other way — a recipe in grams, and cups are what you have in the drawer:

250 g 1 cup

Where this number comes from

Most of our weights are the King Arthur Baking chart figure, unchanged. This one is not, and it is worth saying why: USDA FoodData Central (FDC 171265, Milk, whole, 3.25% milkfat) lists 1 cup = 244 g. That matches milk's density of about 1.03 g/ml (236.588 ml × 1.03 ≈ 244 g). King Arthur's chart lists a flat 227 g for every liquid.

Every value we don't depart on is locked to the chart by a test, and each departure is pinned to the publication it names, so this list stays short and deliberate — you can read all of them on the methodology page.
