No you can't. Baking powder is a leavening agent while cornstarch is a thickening agent. The same applies to baking soda, which will also make doughs "rise," whereas cornstarch will not.
cornstarch
Yes, arrowroot powder, tapioca starch, potato starch, and rice flour can be used as substitutes for cornstarch in cooking and baking.
Yes, you can substitute arrowroot for cornstarch in this recipe. Arrowroot is a good alternative to cornstarch as a thickening agent in cooking and baking.
Arrowroot and cornstarch are both thickeners used in cooking and baking, but they have some differences. Arrowroot is derived from a tropical plant, while cornstarch comes from corn. Arrowroot is a better choice for acidic dishes, as it doesn't break down as easily as cornstarch. However, they can generally be used interchangeably in most recipes that call for a thickening agent. Just keep in mind that arrowroot thickens at a lower temperature than cornstarch, so adjust cooking times accordingly.
No....try baking soda
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), sodium bitartrate, and cornstarch polymer
No, oobleck is typically made with cornstarch and water. Baking soda and water would not create the same non-Newtonian fluid consistency as cornstarch and water.
flour
sure, but why do you want to use it. Cornstarch is used as a thickener, and is activated when reaching waters' boiling point. Not sure if this answers your question or not. If I am to guess, you are wanting to substitute the cornstarch for baking soda/baking powder. Again, I may be wrong about why you want to use it. As far as I know, cornstarch doesn't function like baking powder/soda in baking. The two act as leavening agents (creating air bubbles in baked goods), if this is your line of thinking, then cornstarch would not substitute. Hope this helps! Happy cooking, I love waffles!
Yes, cornstarch is edible and safe for consumption. It is commonly used as a thickening agent in cooking and baking.
The proper substitution for baking powder is half baking soda and half cream of tartar. They both have leavening properties. If you don't have cream of tartar available, I guess I would go toward 2/3 - 3/4 baking soda and the rest cornstarch.
