Can I replace flour with cornstarch?

Unlike flour, cornstarch has no real flavor to mask, results in a shiny, glossy sauce and it has twice the thickening power of flour–so use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch for every 2 tablespoons of flour your recipe calls for.

Which is better cornstarch or flour?

Because cornstarch is pure starch, it has twice the thickening power of flour, which is only part starch. Thus, twice as much flour is needed to achieve the same thickening as cornstarch. Using flour as a thickener will make the sauce opaque and cloudy while cornstarch leaves a shiny, more translucent finish.

What can I use to thicken sauce besides cornstarch?

Cornstarch is used to thicken liquids in a variety of recipes such as sauces, gravies, pies, puddings, and stir-fries. It can be replaced with flour, arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca, and even instant mashed potato granules.

Can I use baking powder or baking soda instead of cornstarch?

Baking powder can stand in for baking soda in some recipes, but it doesn’t have the thickening power of corn starch and should not be used as a substitute. In a pie filling or pudding, it might produce air bubbles, but it would not thicken the food properly.

What if I accidentally put baking powder instead of cornstarch?

If you accidentally put a teaspoon or two of corn starch into your recipe instead of baking powder, then go ahead and put in the baking powder and continue with the recipe as written. A small amount of corn starch will have little to no effect on the finished product. Everything should turn out just fine.
