Judith Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Can I assume that cornflour is farine de mais??? Otherwise I'm stuck. I think French cooks use ordinary flour, but I find I get lumps if I use that!!It's not in that list - I've just looked!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Farine de mais is cornflower - the most popular mark is Maizena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 TwinkleThanks - I've seen Maizena packets, but couldn't be sure if that was what I am used to using in the UK. I shall now buy with confidence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill<br><br>Jill (99) Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I bought some potato starch, but can't think what it is called in France. I find it better for things like wine/meat sauces. It seems to blend in more naturally - less noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
