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.
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.
Usually it means all purpose flour... there are a few others such as arrowroot, potato flour and tapioca. All purpose flour is the most common. the trade is 1 TB cornstarch=2 TB all purpose flour
tapioca
In general cornstarch is used to thicken liquids and can be replaced with flour, arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca, coconut flour and even instant mashed potato granules. For frying, flour, salt and pepper is a decent substitute for cornstarch.
All-purpose flour can be used as a substitute for cornstarch.
No. Cornstarch is a thickening agent as where flour is used to create some type of dough or batter and when it is baked the gluten allows it to expand and get nice and fluffy. Simply put, if you swapped flour for cornstarch, especially for a cheesecake, you would have a nasty mess and a very uneasy cheesecake. Hope that helps
no because cornstarch is sweet and flour is sour. I believe you use about half the amount of cornstarch when subsituting for flour.
Corn starch is used to thicken so there are some things that will work in some recipes. The end product will vary a bit depending on what you use.Aero root, spelling may not be right but pronounced that way. Tapioca will work. Egg yolks for somethings. Flour also. Unflavored gelatin possibly. Just depends on what you are trying to do. You may have to experiment a bit.
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!
