Hi, Charles, Some sets of measuring spoons have a 1/8 teaspoon. If you don't have one, you can use a scant 1/4 teaspoon, or a good pinch. I gave that measurement of nutmeg as an approximation, since the flavor in this recipe is a matter taste. The purpose of nutmeg in a cream gravy is to enhance the other flavors, not stand out on its own.
You can leave it out, but I think it tastes better with a little nutmeg. Also, to clarify: are you asking about the nutmeg in the Swedish Meatballs recipe? Thanks, Alice _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
