remove lumps...
also sometimes when measuring out flour in cups... you use sifted flour for the measurement.. you actually should sift and left the flour float into the measuring cup... Sifted flour will be slightly less flour than hard compacted flour.
kind of the opposite for items like brown sugar... the recipe will often call for 'packed' brown sugar... then you hard pack as much as you can into the measuring cup...

are you talking about flour "sifting"? Where you put the flour in a sifter and you pull a handle and it makes it powdery? You do that to help bring air into the flour and make it lighter and fluffier, I think.
