What does FLOUR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A fine powder made by grinding grain, most commonly wheat, used as the basic ingredient in bread, pastry, and many other baked foods.
Millers grind grain between heavy stones or steel rollers until it becomes a soft, fine flour, then sift out the coarser bran and germ to make lighter varieties such as white flour. Bakers rely on flour for the structure of bread and pastry, since the proteins inside it, mainly gluten, stretch and trap gas bubbles as dough rises. Different grains, including rye, corn, and rice, produce their own kinds of flour, each behaving differently in a recipe. As a verb, to flour a surface or pan simply means dusting it lightly with the powder to keep dough from sticking.

A basic kitchen term, used constantly in recipes for both the ingredient and the action of dusting a surface with it.
