Hi there the use of a flour sifter is to civ the flour to equal size and if you find any flour lumps you can push them through so you dont get lumps of flour in your food.It also helps you pick out anything that should'nt be in the flour.
step 1: weigh the amount of flour the recipe calls for.
step 2: carefully transfer flour to a sieve, (a utensil, usually round, with a meshed or
perforated bottom).
step 3: hold sieve over a plate or bowl and gentley tap the side of sieve with your
free hand. The flour will fall onto the plate or into bowl and will become alot finer and will be lump free.
Sifting flour is primarily used to make sure there are no clumps in it. This allows all the ingredients to become well incorporated. I think sifting was much more important in earlier days. Most flour now is sold pre-sifted. If you don't have a sifter (most people don't now days), you can achieve sifting by pulsing the flour in a food processor of even just by stirring it wit h a fork. When a recipe calls for sifting the dry ingredients together, it basically just wants the cook to mix them together before adding any wet ingredients to the mixture.
Many old recipes recommend flour is sifted for two reasons, sifting adds air to the flour and gets rid of any lumps, however these days flour is sifted in the factory before you buy it so the is no need to sift it again.
A flour sifter helps remove lumps from the flour, and it also introduces air, making the flour a consistent texture. With flour more processed than it used to be, a sifter is less important than it was fifty or one hundred years ago.
I'm not sure but go onto mybum.net, i repeat my bum.net
to remove any lumps that present in the flour that's caused by moisture.
Sifting flour adds air and removes any lumps.
No. The flour stays chemically the same. Sifting mixes air with the flour and breaks up lumps.

Flour provides the structure and bulk once the scone is baked.
Less dense. Sifting is usually done before measuring so there is less flour in the finished product. There are other factors that change the density of the product, but for the flour's part, sifting would make it less dense.
Generally, most scones are not allowed to be eaten during Passover because they are typically made with regular flour or cake flour. However, if the scones were especially baked with only Kosher for Passover ingredients (like matzoh cake flour or coconut flour), a Jew may eat those scones during Passover.

Sifting!!!
Sifting the flour into your mixing bowl traps flour into it.
i dont know maybe scones arnt even bread
Yes, sifting just separates the individual pieces of flour it doesn't change the form of the flour.
Use wholemeal flour instead of white - OR - replace some of the white flour with bran.
