Why Sift Dry Ingredients

Sifting breaks up clumps and to allow air to circulate throughout your ingredients. But what do you do if you don't have a sifter? You can use a fork or egg whisk. Just place your dry ingredients into a bowl and stir them with a fork or egg whisk. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are smooth and light. This will fluff up flour, powdered sugar and any added dry ingredients.
