Preparation

Step 1

Mix the batter as LITTLE as possible - lumps will work themselves out. They're supposed to be there. Mix just BARELY to blend the ingredients. This is why it's a great idea to add the leavening agent to the creamed butter mixture. That guarantees even distribution.

Do likewise with all your quick breads, rather than trying to sift it into the flour. Tests have shown that a wisk blends dry ingredients better than any sifter can. Only sift to add air to a flour mixture for extremely delicate cakes and such.

For other recipes, if I'm going to wisk, I remove a tablespoon of flour per cup from that called for, when it says to sift. Sifting changes the quantity of flour, making it less. So if you wisk the flour, remove a tablespoon from each cup called for.
