Tips on Using Corn Starch

Corn starch should be a part of every kitchen. It can be used to thicken just about everything liquid. As long as you remember to mix it in cold water before adding it, it makes a great addition to stews and gravies.

Pot pies can be made by making a beef or chicken stew and then adding just a little corn starch at the end.

Adding corn starch to a gravy gives it a translucent look. Although this may not work for biscuit gravy, it does for most dinner gravies.

You can make a decent pudding with some boiled milk, some corn starch to thicken it, a few egg whites, and a little sugar.

If you run out of baking powder, combine one part corn starch, one part baking soda, and two parts cream of tartar.
