It depends on how it was stored. In the freezer a couple more months. In a hot room, throw it out.

Actually, flour definitely expires and turns. Storage can affect it, but even in a dry, low-humidity, dark cabinet, it will eventually go bad. I wouldn't keep it more than a few months after the expiration date. I baked cookies with expired flour 8 months past the date, and they tasted bad.

This goes for pancake mix as well.

It can last quite a while. As long as the flour is kept dry and free of bugs that might contaminate it. Place the flour in an air tight container to keep it fresher.
