Our tips for Flours

  • Keeping Flour

    Submitted by Beverley, Huddersfield

    When I get home with a new bag of flour, I enclose it in a tightly closed plastic bag (a freezer clip, twist tie, or a clothes peg work well). I then place in the freezing compartment of the fridge for 24 hours. When it is removed, leave the tightly closing plastic bag in place. The cold kills any flour mites and the plastic bag protects the flour from damp etc. You will never have to discard flour again!
