All-purpose flour can be used as a substitute for cornstarch.
I make pies for a living, and YES it can be a substitute. I do work with frozen fruit, so I made up a mixture of cornstarch, flour, and gelatin, since we have no tapioca. For one pie it should be 3tbs gelatin, 4 tbs cornstarch, and 4 tbs A.P. flour. Hope that helped!

no because cornstarch is sweet and flour is sour. I believe you use about half the amount of cornstarch when subsituting for flour.
hi
flour
= 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.

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.
It only depends on what you are trying to do with it. So just be careful:)
Vegetarian substitute for gelatine is Pectin. Pectin is made from fruits.
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.
