Cornflour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cornflour may be:

• Cornmeal
• Cornstarch, the white, powdered starch of the maize grain; in UK usage, cornflour normally has this particular meaning.
• Masa harina, the flour of hominy

In Australia the term Cornflour is used to describe wheaten starch. The origin of this anomaly is not clear, but possibly may relate to the early days of the colony when wheat was the main cereal crop grown and wheaten starch was generally used by the early settlers in place of maize starch.^{[citation needed]}
