Tsp. or tbsp.
Answer:
AMT
Hint:
Think of the shorthand you’d jot down for "amount" in a recipe’s ingredient list.
Explanation:
This clue is short for common cooking measurements—"tsp." stands for teaspoon and "tbsp." for tablespoon. Both are abbreviations for amounts, so the answer is simply "AMT," a shorthand way to say "amount." It’s a straightforward abbreviation puzzle where the clue hints at the general idea of measurement rather than a specific unit. Think of it like filling in "qty." for "quantity" in a similar context.
