All starch is insoluble (in water), whether its from corn or from another plant. This is due to the coiled shape of the polymer (chain of molecules) that forms as a result of the glycosidic linkages (bonds between sugar molecules).

How convert twelve tablespoons of flour to cornstarch?
Your question is a little vague. Are you using the flour as a thickening agent?
