Why shouldn't you pack or shake down flour after spooning it into a measuring cup?

By packing or shaking the flour into the measuring cup, air is released from within the light and fluffy powder as it becomes denser in the measuring cup. As a result, you are inadvertantly adding more flour to your end product, which would change the inconsisency of the batter, dough, etc.
Also something to think about: if the recipe calls for "sifted" flour, you are actually adding more air in addition to taking out clumps. If you don't sift the flour when the recipe calls for it, you are again adding more flour than called for.

How do you measure 2 cups of flour?
To measure ingredients using a dry measuring cup, first of all be sure that the ingredients you are measuring are indeed dry, such as flour, sugar, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Do not measure liquids such as water, eggs, or milk with a dry measuring cup, as they do measure slightly different than dry ingredients. Dry measuring cups usually have flat tops where you can level off an ingredient and wet/liquid measuring cups usually have a notched spout where ingredients may be poured out. The technical way to measure dry goods is to scoop the ingredient into the cup and use the flat side of a butter knife to level it off. Try not to shake the ingredient too much in the cup and try not to tap it, as these actions compact it and could throw off your measurement for your recipe. Compacted flour for example, could have an extra Tablespoon or so in it. One of the few exceptions to this rule is brown sugar. If a recipe calls for "packed brown sugar," press it with your fingers into the cup and level any excess off with the back of a butter knife.
How do you make three fourths of flour?
If you want your measurement to be precisely perfect you need to sift your flour in a sifter. Sifters will separate the clumps you can see and the even smaller ones you can't. But if your like everyone else who really doesn't care just get a 1/3 measuring cup and your flour, dip the cup in the container and sort of shake it when you've scooped up the flour so it will somewhat "sift" it. wipe off excess. Repeat one more time.
