Sift Flour no more!

Tip O' The Day:

(don't get your hopes up, I'm not sure I can do this on a daily basis, but it sounded good!) ; )

I was on this fabulous website the other day (who doesn't love that place!?!) and found one of the comments to have some amazing advice.  I love to bake, and part of the recipe has always said to "sift the flour" before you measure.  Seriously???  I have not sifted flour since ye ole days when I was a young thing playing with the flour  . . . and making serious messes . . . . but I digress.

One of the comments suggested using a regular whisk, stir the flour (whilst still in the flour tupperware--or whatever you keep yours in), which has the same effect as sifting, only lots less messy and much more time efficient.

YAAY!!!
