So I went to make cookies the other day and saw that my flour, stored in a jar with a screw-on lid, had little black dots in it. Closer inspection: mold! YUK!
I always tear off the date of the flour bag beforehand and put in the jar with the flour. It still had 4 months til expiration date! (Don't worry, Royall, I didn't use that flour for the cookies!!) Anyway, what gives? I figured this was a great method for storage, but apparently not.
Can you store flour in the refrigerator? Does anyone here do that? Any more suggestions? (Besides, "bake more.")
