People, if you are going to give a metric recipe don’t mix ounces, tablespoons, ml, & grams. One or the other, please. Here, in Canada, they have actually stopped putting the number of ounces on a tin of pumpkin.

Dumb question, but … when you say “1/3 cup flour, sifted” — do you sift the flour before of after you measure the 1/3 cup? In other words, do we need 1/3 cup of sifted flour or 1/3 cup of flour that is then sifted? Thanks
Sift the flour once you’ve measured the 1/3 cup. Enjoy! Rachel at The Nosher.
