It's handy if you want to make some dough (5)
I believe the answer is:
flour
'some dough' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'it's handy if you want' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'you' could be 'u' (commonly used in online communication) and 'u' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'flor' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to make' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flour that I've seen before include "Finely ground meal" , "Main ingredient of bread" , "Finely ground grain" , "White powder" , "Powdered grain" .)
