Can I Use Flour Instead Of Cornstarch

Additionally all of these cornstarch substitutes are gluten free.
You easily can use cornstarch instead of flour as a coating for fried chicken fried fish or other fried dishes. Cornstarch will create a crisper coating that will hold up to sauces better and will absorb less of the frying oil leading to a lower fat meal. While flour works best when mixed with a fat cornstarch thickens right away with little heat and twice the thickening power. So if you need 1 tablespoon of cornstarch use 2 tablespoons of white flour.
Made from the endosperm of the corn kernel cornstarch can be used instead of flour as a thickener or as a coating for meat or fish but it s not a substitute in equal parts to flour when baking.
