A cake typically requires a structure that can trap air and create a light, fluffy texture, which is usually achieved through gluten in wheat flour. Corn and potato starch lack gluten, resulting in a denser, more crumbly texture. While they can be used in gluten-free recipes, cakes made solely from these starches will not have the same rise or texture as traditional cakes made with wheat flour. Instead, they often require additional ingredients to mimic the properties gluten provides.
Rice, Potato, Corn to name a couple. Their starch flour is safe as well - corn starch, potato starch etc
potato starch you can get from Japanese grocery stores
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
No, it won't work. potato starch is just shredded potato, so the potato would just dissapear in the water and the water would be sticky.
A potato is a starch like corn is; a carrot is a root, similar to the rutabaga. I hope this tutorial in rudimentary veggie differences has helped.
This is evidence of the presence of starch in the potato or corn. Iodine reacts with starch, forming a dark blue to black color, which can be a qualitative test for the presence of starch in food or other materials.
True
Well yes unless your allergic to those also ............????
You can use flour, it won't be exactly the same but it will be close
even though it is thought to be a vegetable potato's like corn are a starch part of the grain family :) happy potato researching
Potatoes, rice, all bread products, corn, pasta, processed snacks and the like.
I think the addition of starch to a recipe keeps the gluten in the flour from activating or not as much so the end product is more tender. Corn starch should have the same affect.
