Corn Flour
Corn flour, labelled cornstarch in North America, is the starch separated out of the kernel: white, powder fine, and no corn flavour left in it. Cornmeal is the whole kernel ground. Build a cornbread on corn flour and there is no grain in there to give it structure. See our Corn Flour converter.
