We're surprised to hear about the off-smell of your Measure for Measure Flour, Kathryn. It does smell slightly different than regular, wheat-based flour. (Some of our bakers think it actually smells a bit like pancake mix; it has a subtly sweet smell.) If you're still within the best by date on the package and it's been appropriately stored (kept in a cool, dry place) then you're welcome to give it a bake and see what happens. There's no way to "refresh" flour, so if it doesn't smell pleasant you're best off starting with a fresh bag. You can store it in an air tight container in the freezer to help keep it fresh for longer. Good luck, and happy baking! Kye@KAF
