Corn flour, or cornstarch, is typically added to meringue during the final stages of beating the egg whites, usually just before adding any sugar.

I use a 50:50 mix of organic unbleached white flour and corn flour with organic half and half, organic eggs and organic melted butter. I also include some cumin and garlic powder, both organic. Be sure that your wet ingredients are at room temperature before you start and that you whisk together the eggs and half & half for at least one full minute. I use my blender for this. The next step is to carefully remove the lid to the blender and add your dry ingredients by the spoonful letting each fully incorporate into the liqud befpre adding the next addition. Finally add the melted butter once it has slightly cooled. I melt the butter at the beginning of the process. Use your favorite popover recipe with the corn flour substitution. Really good with soups, especially pea or bean types.
