flour
Sifted white powder
Flour is grain that has been ground into powder, typically wheat, used as the foundation for breads, pastries, and countless baked goods.
Different grains produce different flours—rice flour, corn flour, almond flour—each with distinct properties for cooking.
All-purpose flour handles most kitchen tasks, while bread flour has more protein for chewier results and cake flour less for tender crumb.
As a verb, to flour means to dust a surface or food with flour: Flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
