Brown & Polson Cornflour 250g | Thickening Cornflour

Brown & Polson cornflour, 250g. A pure starch thickener rather than a flour in the baking sense, and one of the more useful things in a cupboard once you know what it does.

It thickens without adding flavour or cloudiness, which is why it is used for gravies, custards, Chinese sauces and fruit fillings where a wheat flour would taste raw and look dull.

Always mix it with cold water to a smooth slurry before adding it to anything hot. Cornflour hitting hot liquid directly forms lumps that will never disperse, no matter how long you whisk.
