understanding this recipe

[crisgal]

could you take a quick look at this recipe?

Do you think the T stands for teaspoon?
Also, is two thirds of a cup, or two to three cups?
And finally, are american cups the same as english ones?

Thank you ♥

sorry!

I think the capital T would represent tablespoon and probably a lower-case t would represent teaspoon. I also would think that 2/3 would represent two-thirds of a cup. Just my interpretation though. Not sure about the cup sizes, sorry.

If it were 2 to 3 cups, it would be depicted as "2-3" and not 2/3.

That recipe appears on several other websites, where 'T' is replaced by 'tb'. Hence it must mean 'tablespoons'. e.g:

I agree that 2/3 means two thirds.

A bit of googling suggests that a UK cup is a bit bigger than a US one. Just over half a UK cup (five ninths if you're being fussy) seems to be the same as two thirds of a US cup.
