Yes.
Corn starch, Corn flour, cornstarch, cornflour and maize starch are all different names for the same thing, a pure starch obtained from the endosperm of the corn (maize) kernel. Corn flour is frequently used as a thickener for gravies and in Chinese cooking. It is also the basis of powdered custard.
However do not confuse "Cornstarch" with "Maize flour or Cornmeal" which are used to make corn tortillas.
NOTE: in the United States, very finely ground cornmeal is sometimes also referred to as cornflour - this confuses the issue for Americans.
See related links.
Yes, they are both the same, it's mostly know as cornflour in the UK and other commonwealth countries such as New Zealand and Australia, other countries including Canada and the US call it corn starch.
The flour ground from dried maize is known as cornmeal (except in the US it's known as cornflour)
Confused!, then see both related links for more details.
No.
Corn starch is called corn flour in some English-speaking countries, and the terms are used interchangeably.
However, Corn Starch is not the same as "flour" which generally means flour made from wheat and 'Wheat' flour contains a protein galled gluten which is not present in Corn Starch.
Flour and corn starch are measured the same, but the results aren't always the same.
Yes, and Asda etc. But it's called corn flour in the UK. Same stuff that used as a gravy thickener etc. Look in the flour isles. There similar but not the same. Corn starch is pure starch whereas Corn flour is starch+protein, flour takes about twice as much to achieve the same thickening and adds a white creaminess where as corn starch is clear.
Although corn flour and corn starch derive from the same part of the plant, they are NOT the same thing, and in cooking, they behave very differently. If you use corn starch to make tortillas, you'll get an inedible glob of goo. On the other hand, if you use corn flour in place of corn starch, you'll get gruel instead of gravy or sauce or pudding. Corn flour and corn starch should not be confused with (or used in place of) corn meal, which, although related, is a totally different product with a totally different purpose.
You can use flour, it won't be exactly the same but it will be close
corn starch, corn, flour, peas, they are all starchy.
You should just leave it out... or use corn starch. I think it would be best to use corn starch considering that's the closest thing to it! Actually, something even better would potato flour!!! Use this and it will be 99.9% the same. (Potato flour is, as well as potato starch, gluten free!)-Melissa
