Cornstarch is the commercial name for corn starch and is the same as corn flour, corn flour, and maizena. It is used not only in sauces or creams but also as a supplement in doughs with flour, such as in cakes.

With a little vanilla, chocolate, or some fruit puree, you can prepare the most delicious creams. Just boil a little milk, dissolve some cornstarch in a small amount of cold milk, and mix it as you would a béchamel.
