Could someone help with translation please?Koekmeel - cake flour?Bakpoeier - baking powder?Koeksoda? Bicarb of sodaKakaok - cocoa?halfti (sout) - half a teaspoon?Kookwater - boiling water?Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.I also don't know what "halfti" is... "half / halwe teelepel" is half a teaspoon, I filled in the one that was missing and the rest is correct.Enjoy your baking...Edit: Ok I saw the recipe that you got the above from... halftl is indeed half a teaspoon. Hope this helps. Edited February 21, 2009 by LeaveLeft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janneman Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think the poster meant "tl" and not "ti":half tl = half teelepel = halwe teelepel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
