I found a recipe that includes a white chocolate mousse. However the recipe calls for two "gelatin sheets". All I could find were envelopes (4 envelopes = 1 oz). Anyone know what the translation is between sheets and the Knox gelatin envelopes? 1 for 1?
the white mousse ingredients are as follows:
6 oz. white chocolate
2 oz. butter
1 oz. water
2 gelatin sheets
3 eggs separated
4 oz. cream
3 oz. sugar
Thanks.

A quick google

type in "gelatin sheets" with the quotes) yields this: :There are two basic types of gelatin. The gelatin most common in the :United States comes in a powdered form, which is widely available in :premeasured envelopes. European gelatin, which takes the form of :clear, paper-thin leaves, is generally only available in bakery-supply :stores and some specialty shops, hence your fruitless search. The two :types are completely interchangeable. As a rule, four sheets of leaf :gelatin are equal to one 1/4-ounce envelope or 1 tablespoon of :granulated gelatin. This is enough to gel 2 cups of liquid.
:Flavorless and colorless, gelatin activates when moistened. It must :first be dissolved in a cold liquid for about five minutes to soften :and swell the granules so they'll dissolve smoothly when heated.
:If you find yourself using gelatin only sporadically, don't worry. It :will last indefinitely if wrapped airtight and stored in a cool, dry :place.

For the sheets I use (King Arthur) the equivalence is five sheets equals one envelope.

After a couple of dead-ends, found this in a cooking Q&A:
