Geletin: Powdered vs. Sheet

[Breton Beats]

It has been a while since I've worked with geletin so please forgive the basic question. I have a boxes of sheet geletin, and almost every formula I have calls for powdered, and gives tsp. measurements. How do I translate. Am I right in thinking by weight they are the same? The sheets seem so light as to be hard to weigh. Should I grind them down to a powder.

Thanks.

get yourself a digital scale and measure by weight.

no need to grind up the sheets.

What 'ca maken?

one sheet=one tsp powdered.

if your recipes calls for weight . weigh the sheets on a digital scale.
