Cornflour is a fine, smooth white powder milled to a soft, silky texture. It has no strong smell and blends easily into liquids, forming a smooth paste when mixed with cold water. In everyday cooking, cornflour is used to thicken sauces, gravies, soups and stir-fry mixes. It is a key ingredient in Chinese-style dishes, helping to create that familiar glossy, thickened finish in sauces. It's also used in baking, often combined with other flours to give cakes and biscuits a lighter, more tender crumb. To use, mix cornflour with a small amount of cold water to make a smooth paste before adding it to a hot liquid. This prevents lumps forming and helps the sauce thicken evenly as it heats. Add gradually, stirring continuously, until the desired consistency is reached. Store cornflour in a cool, dry place in its packet or an airtight container. Keep it away from moisture, as this can cause clumping. Properly stored, it will stay in good condition for a long period, ready whenever a quick, reliable thickener is needed in the kitchen.
