Any sauce or gravies that are powdered premade mixtures thickens because it's thickening ingredient is cornstarch. But milk itself naturally thickens slighly even cooked by itself. Have you ever made Hot Chocolate and heated milk on a stove and noticed that the milk becomes creamy and is not like water anymore? Well, I can't tell you what is in the milk that thickens, but I do know that cornstarch is the #1 factor in most premade mixtures.
