Ladies, I need your help.
Help with the English language
And with cooking (double-
, eh?)
Here's my problem: I'm not a native English-speaker (which is painfully obvious I suspect
) and I'm not much of a cook (another thing which is probably obvious enough
).
So now I've gotten my hands on an English recipe which I'd like to try tonight or tomorrow or one of these days ("never" is not an option now that I have all the ingredients at home and that I have made it one of my non scale goals to become more "daring in every area of life", hence why I'm even asking here
).
So anyway, I suspect you can guess where this leads: I don't fully understand the measurements
Or more precisely - the recipe calls for
"one knob of butter".
Um,
how much is "one knob of butter"?
I mean, I get that it is a measurement and (I think) I understand that it is more than a "dash" or a "pinch" (which would be weird measurements in the context of butter anyway). But... how much is it, approximately? More like a teaspoon? A tablespoon? A bucket? An amount that would earn me a raised eyebrow, a sad headshake and a stern "moo" from any self-respecting cow?
Help, please?
(Google has been spectacularly unhelpful in this case...)
