Sugar or flour

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staple

'sugar or flour' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for staple that I've seen before include "Basic element" , "Fastening wire" , "Paper-fastening device" , "Main - way to fasten paper" , "One securing hasp; principal" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
