Best Answer

Cornstarch is cornflour, just ground to a smaller diameter.

If you have cornflour and a grinder, just grind it some more, just like you would grind crystallized sugar into icing sugar.

Once you are done, use a thin sieve to filter out the remaining flour-size grain.

The only type of cornflour that cannot be ground into proper starch is if it still contains the germs or skins of the kernels, but most corn flour already has these parts removed, for instance in order to extract maize oil.
