Definition
Coating something with flour, as in cooking preparation, or dusting with a powder resembling flour.
Etymology
From 'flour' (the ingredient) plus '-ing' (present participle suffix). Creates a verb meaning to apply flour to something.
Kelly Says
Flouring a cutting board before rolling dough comes from an ancient practice—flour prevents sticking, but medieval cooks might have used other powders like bran, chalk, or even bone powder depending on what was available!
