Flour and corn starch are measured the same, but the results aren't always the same.
Although corn flour and corn starch derive from the same part of the plant, they are NOT the same thing, and in cooking, they behave very differently. If you use corn starch to make tortillas, you'll get an inedible glob of goo. On the other hand, if you use corn flour in place of corn starch, you'll get gruel instead of gravy or sauce or pudding. Corn flour and corn starch should not be confused with (or used in place of) corn meal, which, although related, is a totally different product with a totally different purpose.

Yes, and Asda etc. But it's called corn flour in the UK. Same stuff that used as a gravy thickener etc. Look in the flour isles. There similar but not the same. Corn starch is pure starch whereas Corn flour is starch+protein, flour takes about twice as much to achieve the same thickening and adds a white creaminess where as corn starch is clear.
Yes. Easy as cornstarch. You can add it at the beginning, in a pot with butter, margarine, water or broth, or you can add it at the end by combining the flour with cold water and pouring it in slowly.
Yes.Corn starch, Corn flour, cornstarch, cornflour and maize starch are all different names for the same thing, a pure starch obtained from the endosperm of the corn (maize) kernel. Corn flour is frequently used as a thickener for gravies and in Chinese cooking. It is also the basis of powdered custard.However do not confuse "Cornstarch" with "Maize flour or Cornmeal" which are used to make corn tortillas.NOTE: in the United States, very finely ground cornmeal is sometimes also referred to as cornflour - this confuses the issue for Americans.See related links.
Corn starch thickens cheese sauce. Basic flour will do it also.
