Having recently published a Gimme Five! flour sifters post, I tasked Justin with finding me one to use in my baking. It didn’t take him long to unearth a bargain, paying just £5 for this lovely vintage Foley Sift-Chine example.
And it’s a Rolls Royce of a sifter – lovely, aged, shiny copper with a triple sift mechanism. The flour comes out so light & airy, perfect for making melt-in-the-mouth Victoria sponge cakes.
He’s my sifting hero!!

I really should invest in a flour sifter! When I’m weighing out flour, I sit a handled sieve precariously on a mixing bowl which itself sits on a set of scales. As I spoon a mound of flour into the sieve it invariably tips up and flour ends up all over the table.
This vintage Tala flour sifter being sold on eBay for Charity by & in support of British Heart Foundation* would really simplify & improve proceedings. Lovely aerated flour = lovely aerated cakes!
