no..... well you can but it will taste diffrent some people like it better try it an see how you like it
diabetic people can use cornflour and custurd powder?
Hi! Arrowroot is just a thickener so cornflour is ok to use, but bear in mind that Arrowroot stays clear when used as a thikening agent, Cornflour will turn whatever you're cooking a light milky white colour, especially if you're working with a clear sauce/consomme etc.
It helps retain some moisture
There is a similar thing called Arrowroot and the finished product remains clear and doesn't turn an opaque colour. Good for making puddings.
Yes, you can use plain flour instead of cornflour in lemon meringue filling, but the texture may differ slightly. Cornflour helps achieve a smoother, more delicate filling, while plain flour may result in a thicker and slightly less silky consistency. If using plain flour, be sure to cook it thoroughly to eliminate any raw taste. Adjust the quantity as needed, as plain flour may require slightly more than cornflour.
Yes, you can substitute arrowroot for cornstarch in this recipe.
I personally would use normal cornflour instead because wheaten cornflour is really hard to find but you may wish to use something else.
Use flour in cold water allowed to sit for at least 20 minutes.
To use arrowroot in lemon meringue pie, substitute it for cornstarch or flour in the filling. Mix the arrowroot powder with sugar and lemon juice, then combine with egg yolks and water over low heat, stirring until it thickens. This will create a smooth, glossy filling that sets well. Once cooled, pour it into the pie crust and top with meringue before baking to achieve a light, fluffy topping.
NO, totally different thing use bran
You can use alternatives like arrowroot powder, tapioca flour, or potato starch as substitutes for cornflour in gluten-free recipes. These options work well for thickening soups, sauces, and gravies. Additionally, almond flour or coconut flour can be used in baking, though they may require adjustments in liquid ratios. Always consider the specific recipe to ensure the best results.
The only alternative to cornflour I know is to mix equal parts of softened butter and plain flour to form a paste and use the paste instead of cornflour.
