Sometimes a recipe may recommend corn starch, which is not at hand..
In this case, you need to take products that can fully replace it..
Chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on cooking issues in our magazine, tells us which options are worth paying attention to.
What is usually used instead of corn starch
Classic starch
Not everyone knows that there is no fundamental difference between potato and corn starch, so you can always use the other instead of one.
The differences usually consist only in a slight shade of taste, which is almost unnoticeable.
Nut flour
For example, if the recipe requires you to add a spoonful of cornstarch to the dough, then that is exactly the amount of nut flour you need to make.
It’s easy to do. Put the required amount of nuts in a coffee grinder and grind them to a powder.
This option is ideal for baking cakes, pies and buns.
