Dusting with flour or sugar the easy way

Sometimes you want to apply a little bit of something, like when you use salt and pepper.

But in baking it is usually that you want to add say sugar on top like icing sugar on a cake to look good or a dusting of flour.

But if you don't have anything to do this other than using and then cleaning something that might be too large like a sieve then what can you do?

Well the answer is at the start: use a salt or pepper shaker for dusting with sugar or flour! Just fill the empty pot with it and use as normal and sprinkle over.
