I still use that brand of corn starch!
I have always made my own puddings and that is pretty close to the recipe I use. Someplace around here I have a recipe for cookies that calls for cornstarch - a cup of it, if I remember correctly. I'll have to dig it out.
The Squire was fixing dinner for us one day when I was working, and the (British) recipe called for "corn flour". Bless him, he used corn meal instead of corn starch. The sauce was a bit gritty, but tasted fine.
I add half a cup of cornstarch to the flour when I'm breading chicken for frying; it makes a crispier crust.
Jackie, I still use Argo as well!
Is there a good substitute for corn starch? The other half has a corn allergy; not enough to kill him, just enough to make him sick. I've tried arrowroot, but it's just not the same. I didn't realize how often I use cornstarch until I couldn't any more, well at least not without a great deal of guilt.
As a thickener for gravies etc you can try flour; for puddings, there's always tapioca. They aren't an exact replacement but they will do.
Ah, tapioca! I forgot about that. Must check the market as the supermarket only has the prepackaged pudding.
