Suitable for vegetarians
Preparation and Usage
Why not add 2.5ml (1/2tsp) of cornflour to each egg white when making meringues to give a marshmallow centre.
When grilling or frying meat and fish first coat with cornflour to seal in the flavour.
Use cornflour when stir frying to create thick glossy sauces. Mix cornflour with a little liquid and add to the stir fry ingredients.
To thicken soups, casseroles and stews use about 15g (1/2oz) cornflour to each 300ml (1/2pt) liquid. Blend cornflour with a little cold water, stir into the dish, and cook for a further 3 minutes.
Have lighter cakes and puddings by using 4 parts plain flour to 1 part cornflour.
To bake melt-in-the mouth pastry and biscuits use 2 parts plain flour to 1 part cornflour for a shorter texture.
For the smoothest homemade gravy blend 15g (1/2oz) cornflour with the fat from the roasting tin. Stir in 300ml (1/2pt) stock or water, bring to the boil whilst stirring. Boil for 1 minute, then season to taste.

Great thickener for gravy, doesn’t clump
Doesn't thicken well
Never before have I experienced such poorly thickening cornflour! I need at least twice as much and even then it struggles to thicken a sauce. Really odd. The only good thing is that I will get through it twice as quickly and can then replace with a brand that hopefully will work better! But that doesn't make it good value.
Love this cornflour
I love using this cornflour for so many dishes, it’s so thin and doesn’t clump at all, I use it to make soups and gravy and also to coat my chicken or beef when making a fried curry
Nice gluten free flour
My partner who's been diagnosed with IBS has tried this flour dur as part as his "detox period". We've prepared a tart and the result was quite tasty
Doesn\x27t thicken very well
Found I had to use a lot more cornflour than other brands to thicken sauces and even then it still turned out watery.
