Cornflour / corn maize starch 3.5kg

3kg / 3.5kg purest quality cornflour

IMPORTANT NOTE - at the moment it is proving difficult to secure reliable supply so we're ordering our cornflour from more than one manufacturer. The quality is the same and we've managed to get some larger 3.5kg bags, for which we're charging the same price as the 3kg bags! We will always supply the 3.5kg bags wherever possible, but please note that sometimes we may have to return to the original 3kg bags  :)

• corn flour - also known as corn starch or maize starch in the USA - is a baking essential
• a fine white flour made from maize kernels, used as a thickening agent as due to its extra-fine texture it's less likely to form in lumps than ordinary flour
• a lot of cake decorators are using cornflour in place of icing sugar when rolling out sugarpaste or fondant icing, especially in hotter weather when warm sugarpaste will absorb more icing sugar causing it to dry out and potentially crack
• cornflour is absorbed at a much lower rate so can help prevent the sugarpaste from stressing and drying
• use the FMM Dab - a - Dust to ensure a light even coverage
• Kassama pure cornflour is is 100% gluten free and contains only a minimal amount of fat and protein
• classed as white - to distinguish from American yellow corn flour
• flavourless, so can be used to thicken delicate dishes - add to a little cold water to form a paste and then add this to the dish - great for thickening curries, casserols and sauces
• PLEASE REMEMBER that all flour is essentially a living thing and that adding moisture can create spores, so if you are a fan of the 'cornflour method' for pinning out icing please only use a light surface dusting and do not mix through the sugarpaste
• we're not nutritionists and can't offer health advice but it is generally accepted that cornflour is easy to digest, contains valuable antioxidant, and can provide decent amounts of protein and fibre, making it a good option for a fairly nutrient-dense flour
• cornflour's super absorbant quanlities also make it an excellent natural cleaner - perfect for use in the kitchen where you don't want any nasty chemicals - mix into a paste for effective, gentle cleaning paste or add some vinegar for an amazing glass cleaner
