Cornstarch is the commercial name for corn starch and is the same as cornflower, corn flour, and maizena. It is used not only in sauces or creams but also as a supplement in doughs with flour, for example in cakes. With a little vanilla, chocolate, or fruit puree, you will prepare the most delicious creams. Just boil a little milk, dissolve some of the cornstarch in a small amount of cold milk, and mix it as you would when making béchamel.
