Sometimes a recipe may recommend cornstarch, which is not on hand.
In this case, you need to take products that can fully replace it.
Chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on cooking issues for the online publication BelNovosti, talks about which options are worth paying attention to.
What is commonly used instead of cornstarch
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 of a slight hint of flavor, which is almost imperceptible.
Nut flour
For example, if a recipe calls for adding a spoonful of cornstarch to the dough, that's exactly how much nut flour you need to make.
It's easy to do. Put the required amount of nuts into the coffee grinder and grind them to a powder state.
This option is ideal for baking cakes, pies and buns.
