How convert twelve tablespoons of flour to cornstarch?

Your question is a little vague. Are you using the flour as a thickening agent? If so just dissolve 4-5 teaspoons of cornstarch into cold water and add it slowly to your sauce, stiring constantly until you get the desired thickness. You can always dissolve more into cold water and add as needed. Corn starch is much more effective thickener than flour, so usually much less is needed.

Brown sauce is thickened with flour or corn starch. Corn starch makes it creamer, flour makes it more countrified. You mix the flour with water and shake it up until all the lumps disappear.

What is the difference between cornstarch and flour?

To be blunt, the term corn flour has been rendered useless by its multiple and diverse meanings. In the UK, corn flour refers to the white, powdery corn derivative that we call cornstarch in the USA. In the USA, corn flour, depending on the source, can refer to very finely ground white or yellow corn meal, corn meal mix (often used in corn bread), or the semi-fine ground corn meal used in tortillas and other native American/Mexican dishes. Thus, consider the source and try to apply some common sense when using a recipe calling for non-specific corn flour.
