Word origin

The word 'floured' originates from the Old French term 'fleur', meaning 'flower', which in this context refers to fine powder. In medieval cooking, this term was used to denote finely milled grains used for food preparation. Over time, 'flour' came to be specifically associated with wheat and similar grains. The transformation into its participial form 'floured' reflects a common usage in the culinary arts. By the 14th century, the practice of dusting or coating ingredients with flour became a standard technique in various cooking methods, especially in baking and frying. This led to the pervasive use of the term today to indicate the action of applying flour to food items for specific cooking purposes.
