Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients while stirring/whisking. If you add flour to the eggs, there will be large clumps of flour in the eggs.

I always add wet to dry. I guess it doesn't matter if it's one ingredient, but if you're using more than 1, always mix them together (dry only) first with a fork and then add the wet ingredients.
