Yes, measure first, the dump it directly into the sifter and sift into (usually) a medium-to-large bowl where other ingredients will be/have been added.
I do not believe this answer is correct. I believe one cup "sifted flour" is sifted then measured. One cup of "flour, sifted" is measured then sifted.

∙ 13y agoYou should always sift before measuring any flour with measuring cups. Sifting generally is for removing foreign matter from the flour and aerating it a little so it's not dense. If you are using a scale, density doesn't matter, it weighs the same dense or not.
Another response:
Aside from what we should do, in reality, most home cooks (at least in the U.S.) rarely sift flour anymore. Most of us no longer own sifters. Flours sold today rarely have any sort of foreign matter, and a gentle stirring or filling the measuring cup is sufficient for aeration.

What you use to measure flour and sugar?
It depends on the recipe you are following. Both can be measured by weight or by volume. the more accurate measurements are by weight due to the fact that they can be compacted into differing volumes, yet weights cannot be changed by compacting them. So, if you are writing a recipe, you should measure by weight for consistent results. However, if you are following a recipe that uses volume measurement you should try to stick with that. These often are measured after flour is sifted, and sugar is often measured as loosely or hard packed. Volume measures are teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, ml and liters. Weight measures are ounces, pounds, grams and kilograms.
