"Flour" has two plural versions: "flour" and "flours".
You started in 1800 ... maybe I should have said "has become less often used". :-p"Flours" tends to be less often used because it is a bit cumbersome. More often the phrase "types of flour" would be used instead.I don't see 'flours' as cumbersome - and:
<https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=flours%2Ctypes+of+flour&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=3> This shows 'flours' as forty times commoner than 'types of flour'.
'Flour' is a 'mass noun' - but one can have more than one mass. The rains came, I like different butters, he's taking the waters….
