yes, you can freeze it, vacuum seal flour and freeze it for up to 2 years. If you’re using ziplock type bags you’ll get about 12 months out of it. Pancake mix will be different due to the other ingredients & the expiration date listed on the box.

I have frozen flour for years and only drop it in the freezer. I have never had flour fail…..like how does it fail you? I bake cakes and pies from scratch and have used flour way over 2 years old as I buy in 2 pound bags.

I’m assuming that you’re speaking of unbleached all purpose flour, as most of your other flours spoil fairly quickly.
If you have OLD flour and think that it’s probably still “good” take a tablespoon of it and dump it into a glass of water. Then see what floats to the top, you might be surprised about whats Really in your flour that you can’t readily see.

If you just drop the bag of flour into the freezer it can pick up funky flavors. I vacuum seal mine into canning jars and store that way and its stays good for several years. I try to use it up with in 3 years and you need to rotate so the oldest gets used first. If you vacuum seal into jars you don’t need to freeze it.
I’ve got jars of chocolate that are over 10 years old and taste like I just bought it at the store. Vacuum sealing into canning jars is my special miracle! Raisins & nuts vacuum seal really good too!

I do not know how long,but my mom use to put her’s in the freezer sometimes in just the bag she bought it in and sometimes she would put it in freezer bags if she had already opened it.

Making homemade breads and dough’s (bread machine) I can’t say I have had any go bad. I did fine one that had slipped down and missed for 3 years and it was still good.It was plain flour so I can’t attest to fact that the leveling agents were still good.
I freeze cornmeal as well. :great:
