No. While any flour has some thickening ability, it has much less than cornstarch.
It will be runny, look funny, and taste bad.
Nope. Tastes bad, not as thick.
= Cornstarch Substitute = For 1 tablespoon cornstarch, substitute 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; OR 1 tablespoon potato flour or rice flour; OR 4 teaspoons quick cooking tapioca; OR 2 teaspoons arrowroot.
Milled flour can be used as a substitute for cornstarch. However, with any substitution, expect mild changes in flavor or texture, depending on recipe and usage.
Cream is not a good replacement for cornstarch. Instead use 2 tablespoons of flour for 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Or you could use 4 teaspoons of quick cooking tapioca for 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
You can substitute twice the amount of flour for the amount of cornstarch called for in most recipes. So you would use 6 tablespoons of flour, but use plain flour and not self rising.
For thickening soups, stews, and gravies, you can use flour instead of cornstarch.
You can't make lasagna using cashews for filling instead of cheese because cheese is a major portion of the dish. You can substitute the cashews for the meat in any lasagna recipe.
Not generally -- because there is unsweetened (baking chocolate). The best thing to substitute is cocoa powder and butter/oil/shortening. For each ounce of baking chocolate substitute 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of butter (or oil/shortening).
Substitute finely ground almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts for half of the flour in the recipe. You can do this with most cakes for a different taste and texture. For the filling instead of cream, jam or lemon spread ( or a combination of these) try chocolate or strawberry mousse.
Whether chocolate chips can be used in place of a chocolate bar depends entirely on the recipe. If the chocolate bar is broken or chopped up, and the chips are the same type of chocolate - milk, semi-sweet or bittersweet - then the chips probably would be a good substitute.
yes
If a cake filling recipe requires lemon juice, can lime juice be used instead?
Yes, it will do.
