I rarely sift but when I do it is a joyful experience as I use a sifter passed from my great grandmother (patented in 1930 I see online). I bet others have a similar experience or two. Using inherited tools and recipes transcends need and practicality. I typically whisk flour and dry ingredients together for those goals. Sometimes a sifter works better but I digress from this wonderfully written and helpful post. I'll get back to the kitchen.
