teaspoonfuls
Recipe's tiny amounts
Teaspoonfuls is the plural of teaspoonful—the amount a teaspoon holds, used as a unit of measurement in cooking and medicine: Add two teaspoonfuls of vanilla extract.
The alternative plural teaspoonsful exists but sounds awkward to most speakers.
In recipes, the abbreviation "tsp" typically replaces the full word.
