shot

Another possibility, alongside all the other valid ones which are already up above! It will depend again on the specific context. The term does suggest that its interpretation is quite flexible (especially if it's alcohol?!), but some of our suggestions are bigger/smaller quantities than others.

Shot actually sounds more precise than most, since you might think of it in terms of the contents of the shot glass, but I read it as the liquid equivalent of a generous dollop.

"Prawn and gorgonzola tartlets:
Ingredients :
370g prawns
80g gorgonzola
40g butter
1 egg yolk
½ glass cream
A shot of cognac
7 slices white bread "

Re Beef Stroganoff: "This recipe is very similar to one I use except I use creme fraiche instead of sour cream add a shot of cognac and finish it off with fresh chopped dill." http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001976beef_stroganoff....
