Recipe amount (4)
I believe the answer is:
dash
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">recipe amount</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for dash that I've seen before include "Kill off (hopes)" , "Hurry; destroy (hopes)" , "Elan; punctuation mark" , "style" , "Elan; run" .)
