Cornstarch
21 recipes 1 guide
This fine white powder thickens sauces, gravies, and pie fillings into a glossy, spoon-coating consistency, and it creates a crisp shell on fried or roasted foods. Mix it with cold water before whisking it into hot liquid; adding it dry causes stubborn lumps. Once thickened, avoid prolonged vigorous boiling, which can make the sauce loosen.
