Fill Flour Sifter - 9

We next get out our flour sifter and begin to put some flour into it. The sifter sits on top of our measuring dish so if any falls through it will go into the measuring dish and avoids a mess on the counter. You want to sift flour for two reasons. First, so the measurement is more accurate. Second, so that the sifter breaks up any lumps in the flour.
