"Hi. My name is Kip. And I am here on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are making a New York style cheesecake. And we've just got done showing you how to make your own self rising flour if you don't have any. And now its time to combine the rest of the ingredients for the pastry crust. But, what we need to do now is we've sifted, as you can see, that is very fine looking as compared to the general purpose flour that we're going to have to add. So what I'm going to do one more time is we're going to sift, just like we did, with, to make our self rising bread, actually I should put these together. We're going to have to sift the entire bunch of flour. And we'll do that a couple of times as well to make sure that both types of flour are mixed together well. We're going to do it one more time. That the sifting stage of flour for pastries and the like is very, very, very important. This is the second time through the sifting our flour. And this is helping to mix the two types of flour together. And giving us a much lighter and will end up giving us a much lighter pastry crust."
