This is the US tablespoon (14.787 ml). Australia uses a larger 20 ml tablespoon — an Australian recipe's "1 tbsp" holds noticeably more than a US one, which matters most for baking where the ratio of leavening agents affects the result. If a recipe's origin isn't stated but the method or ingredient names look Australian, assume the 20 ml tablespoon.
