Leicester_H Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hi Just watched interesting video about making Turkisk-Style Balloon bread. Uses grams and ml which is fine but also the abbreviation YK - I assume its spoon size - but not sure which one. Can this font of all knowledge enlighten me please !? TIA, H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Could it be a misprint for UK? Just a thought I know its Turkish but some of the language characters are similar to Greek ones - I did ask hubby whose Cypriot (Greek ) thats the only thing he could think of. sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hi The recipe was something like 1/2 YK salt, 2 YK oil and cook was holding a spoon but couldn't clearly see the size. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_H Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Thanks, both. I have found other recipes - looks interesting. I assume must be tsp as otherwise it a LOT of salt ! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
