Using Cornstarch In Baking
Did you know that unlike flour, cornflour or cornstarch is gluten free?
Cornstarch can also help add some structure to a baked good while increasing its tenderness.

Another common way of using it is adding a small amount of it to all-purpose flour to make a substitute for cake flour.
