Scotch Blessing
I got one of several this morning, wife started her yearly onslaught of Thanksgiving pies and when she went to retrieve her over large flour bin, it was noticed that I had not filled it with last 25# sack of flour purchased, but had left it on table in the garage and it got covered up with something .
So she has been having to sift the flour to start her pie crusts and cookies so that it was lump free.
Guess I best take flour direct to the bin next trip . Hahaha.
Honestly how many women nowadays even have a flour sifter in their kitchen arsenal?
And by the way Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 guys and gals.

Reminds me of my German grandma. She was a great pie maker,baker. All done the old way.
Few younger gals today know what a sifter is.

Mom was Czech, who are famous pastry cooks. Goodness, could she bake. Her specialty was creampuffs; airy flaky outside with chocolate or vanilla pudding centers. Magic.

I miss having one once in awhile, as a kid it was our job to crank the sifter for Mom.

I collect colanders and flour sifters . Market seems to have blown away though.

I still have my mother's flower sifter, I can't remember any time in my life that this sifter wasn't present, my mom probably bought it in the late 40s or early 50s.
We don't use it but I couldn't ever throw it out.

oh to have grama's kolach's again stuffed so full the sides are splitting. No one knows how to bake like those old bubba's could.

#2 and #3 cook from scratch. #3 is big into sourdough at the moment. She makes bread, rolls, cinnamon rolls, etc. #2 even makes cranberry sauce from scratch. #2 doesn't have a sifter but wants one. She mentioned it the last time she was here and I got mine out.

I inherited my late grandma's old Hoosier Cabinet. It has a large flour bin inside with a built in sifter below it.
When we sold the old family homestead to my 2nd son, we left the cabinet there for his wife who loves to bake.

We rendered down Jack & Jill from Halloween into pumpkin puree for pies. Each year we pick elderberries, goose berries, plums and peaches for jam & jelly . And we are both in our 80's!!!
