> Whether sifted or not, a pound of flour is always a pound of flour.
yeahbut it cooks differently if sifted and fluffed with air, at least in some cases...
True that, but in cooking, flour is not measured by weight (normally), but by volume. A cup of unsifted flour does
not equal a cup of sifted flour. The cup of sifted flour will weigh less. I'm not sure any of the "air" actually survives the mixing process
, but starting off with the molecules farther apart makes for less mixing time, which can be crucial for some recipes. Not all mixtures should be beaten to death, or even to a draw... :0)
I think I might have done even worse on my SAT had I not had two years of Latin and a pretty good HS etymology course behind me.
You're darn tootin'! Studies have shown that second language study increases SAT/GRE scores by up to 50 points or so, with Latin leading the charge. No big surprise, to me.
