Corn Flour

Corn flour is a fine powder made from ground cornmeal. It is commonly used as a thickening agent in recipes such as soups, stews, gravies, and sauces. Corn flour is also used in baking as a substitute for wheat flour, although it does not contain gluten, so it may require additional ingredients to achieve the desired texture in baked goods. Corn flour is sometimes confused with cornstarch, which is a more refined and processed form of corn flour. Cornstarch is also commonly used as a thickening agent, but it is typically used in smaller amounts than corn flour. Corn flour is a staple in many cultures and is commonly used in dishes such as tortillas, tamales, and cornbread. It is also a popular ingredient in gluten-free baking.
