There is a similar thing called Arrowroot and the finished product remains clear and doesn't turn an opaque colour. Good for making puddings.
I personally would use normal cornflour instead because wheaten cornflour is really hard to find but you may wish to use something else.
NO, totally different thing use bran
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.
use "I can't believe its not cornflour"
you use cornflour instead but it dosent work as well
A little cornflour will do the trick.
If I'm not mistaken cornflour is called corn starch in the States, in which case I would say: go for it. The difference will be that you will probably need less of it because it is a potent thickener.
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?
No. cornflour 'hardens' the mixture so it will keep its shape, normal flour doesn't do that.
NO
Not in all recipes; for most baking recipes substituting plain flour for cornflour will not work, since cornflour has no gluten (which is what makes dough springy) and it requires far more hydration. Adding some cornflour to the flour in baking will result in lighter baked goods, but only until the total flour is 5% cornflour; after that the baked good gets progressively more dense and inedible. Cornflour is useful for thickening custards, which plain flour is not so good at. But you cannot bake normally with cornflour. Both cornflour and wheat flour have a similar calorie content, wheatflour is lower in the glycemic load (GL) index compared to cornflour, and whereas cornflour is considered "highly inflammitory" (i.e likely to cause a reaction), wheatflour is only considered "inflammitory."
