    Yes it should be fine to use. I'm not sure if it will effect the rising or not. If it does you can add a pinch of baking powder and salt to it.

    Hope this helps.

    Take the first step.
    Even if you cannot see the whole staircase,
    Just take the first step.

    I`m also halfway through a bag dated Jan 09 and it`s fine.
    I haven`t added anything else to it and the results are just the same as if it had been in date. Happy baking :D

    Just remember flour shouldn't move. If it does then bin it!
