I've noticed that in some recipes the directions mention adding the wet ingredients into to dry ingredients, or the dry to the wet. Why is it important which mix is added to the other bowl?

Here is a pretty major discussion of the topic:

I didn't read the straight dope link but in my experience it totally doesn't matter. I do it the called-for way if it's convenient but usually I mix the wet and then sift in the dry, and it comes out fine.

These offer some pretty good explanations-- thanks for the link (and the question).

Thanks!
