Dough

Answer:

MOOLAH

Hint:

Think of what you might call cash in slang, especially when it’s flowing freely—like what a cow might produce, but in your wallet.

Explanation:

"Dough" is slang for money, just like "moolah," so the clue plays on that informal meaning rather than the literal bread-making kind. The answer isn’t about flour and water—it’s a straightforward nod to cash, where both words serve as casual terms for the same thing. Think of phrases like "show me the dough" or "stacking moolah" to see the connection.
