Pandora, since Judith isn't around, I'll answer this: the recipe calls
for teaspoons of gelatin, which implies it isn't sheets (or cubes).
Also, in American cooking, powdered gelatin is often mentioned (but I've
never seen sheets mentioned). So I think if we were to know the weight
of a teaspoon an powdered gelatin, we could then weigh European sheets
and compare

I'd weigh sheet,s but don't have any gelatin around. Although I've been
wanting to do a quark torte, for which I'd use it. You know, using those
polenta cookies for a bottom (crushed and mixed with melted butter)
