To substitute cornstarch for flour in a recipe, use half the amount of cornstarch as you would flour.

Cornstarch is a good thickening agent, so it works well in recipes that require a thick consistency.
Yes, you can use cornstarch instead of flour in chicken marsala, but it will alter the texture slightly. Cornstarch will create a lighter coating and can help thicken the sauce more effectively than flour. Just be sure to use a smaller amount, as cornstarch is more potent as a thickener.

Sidewalk chalk can be made with just flour and water. It can be fancied up with the addition of cornstarch or food coloring. Sidewalk chalk is fun for children to use.
no because cornstarch is sweet and flour is sour. I believe you use about half the amount of cornstarch when subsituting for flour.
