All starch is insoluble (in water), whether its from corn or from another plant. This is due to the coiled shape of the polymer (chain of molecules) that forms as a result of the glycosidic linkages (bonds between sugar molecules).

Can cornstarch dissolve in oil?

Cornstarch does not dissolve in oil; rather, it is hydrophilic and dissolves in water. When mixed with oil, cornstarch may form a suspension or paste, but it won't dissolve like it does in water. The two substances have different polarities, which prevents cornstarch from fully integrating into the oil.

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.

What is a suitable flour substitute for gravy?

A suitable flour substitute for gravy is cornstarch. Cornstarch is a gluten-free option that can be used to thicken gravy in a similar way to flour. To use cornstarch as a substitute, you typically need to mix it with cold water to create a slurry before adding it to the gravy. It is important to note that cornstarch has a higher thickening power than flour, so you will need to use less of it to achieve the desired consistency.
