You can measure out the amount of flour that you need by spooning it out into a measuring cup. Then pour the flour into a mixing bowl and whisk it with a wire whisk or a fork for about a minute.
Or you could shake it out through a colander if you have one.

∙ 14y agoThe purpose of sifting is to break up any clumps which may be in your ingredients and to allow air to circulate throughout your ingredients. If you need a way to sift dry ingredients for a recipe and you do not have a sifter on hand, you can use a fork or egg whisk. Simply place your dry ingredients into a bowl and stir them with a fork or egg whisk. Stir thoroughly until your ingredients are smooth and light. This method of sifting will fluff up flour and powdered sugar quickly.
