Lisa, flours can settled down and if you do not sift you can actually end up
with more than the recipe calls for. It seems to me that rice flour does
not settled like the others but you can try and experiment and see what I
mean. Sift one cup of each of your flours and measure again. You should
find more flour left in your bowl once you have filled you cup up
again. --Betty

Do you sift flours for a recipe before or after you measure it?

Sift before measuring to get the correct measurement. Most flours settle
and if you don't sift first you will end up using more flour than the recipe
calls for. That is not good for the recipe or your pocket book as much as
these flours cost. Sifting after you measure out the dry ingredients blend
the ingredients together more.
