Usually, for smaller domestic recipes, you would use a measuring cup or measuring scoop. In larger, commercial size recipes, flour is measured by weight.
Answer:
British recipes generally use weight of ingredients rather than volume to avoid questions as to whether the flour should be loose or packed in the cup.

What is Bakers percentage?
A bakers' percentage is a system whereby the amount of flour in a recipe (irrespective of what weight the amount of flour is), is thought of as 100%. All the other ingredients are added according to the percentage of the recipe that they constitute, relative to the flour. So flour is always 100%, sugar may be 30% (of the amount of flour), butter 10% (of the amount of flour) etc... The total percentage will not add up to 100% -in fact there is not a 'standard' total.

Should you measure flour before or after sifting?
Difficult question. If you are measuring in volume (cups), the flour will be fluffier after sifting so it may end up being less than the recipe wants. On the other hand, if you scoop the flour into the cup, you can be compacting it a fair bit and end up with a lot more than the recipe wants.The "standard" way to measure flour, if you are using cups, is to give the flour in the bag/container a bit of a stir then spoon it into your level cup - that is the type with a flat top, not a glass measuring cup with a spout. Do not tap the cup flat or you'll compact it again. Overfill the cup measure then use a straight edge (knife, spoon handle) to push off the excess. Sift the measured flour afterwards.NOTE: Some recipes expect you to measure the flour after sifting it. The recipe should state this clearly. If it doesn't say so, you can probably assume you sift after.If you are weighing the flour, it won't matter if you sift before or after. If the recipe wants 4.5 oz of flour, it won't matter if it's fluffy or not, it will still weigh 4.5 ounces before and after sifting.
