Elevate your cooking with the versatile power of National Cornflour (Corn Starch Powder) 300g, a fundamental pantry staple from the trusted National Foods brand, available at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm. This pure, fine white powder, derived from corn, is an indispensable ingredient in kitchens worldwide, prized for its superior thickening capabilities and its ability to create delightfully light and crispy textures in fried foods.
Excellent Thickening Agent: National Cornflour dissolves easily and thickens liquids smoothly, creating lump-free sauces, gravies, soups, stews, and pie fillings with a glossy finish.
Creates Crispy Coatings: When used in batters or as a dusting for fried foods (like chicken, fish, or vegetables), it helps to achieve an incredibly light and crispy exterior.
Gluten-Free Thickener: A naturally gluten-free alternative to wheat flour for thickening, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities.
Versatile in Sweet & Savory Dishes: Used in a wide array of recipes, from savory Asian stir-fry sauces and creamy European-style gravies to sweet custards, puddings, and fruit sauces.
Improves Texture in Baking (Sometimes): Can be used in some baked goods (like shortbread) in small quantities to create a more tender crumb.
Trusted National Foods Quality: National Foods is a well-regarded brand, ensuring consistent quality and performance from their cornflour.
Thickening Sauces & Gravies: The most common use. Mix with a little cold water to create a slurry before adding to hot liquids to prevent lumps.
Soups & Stews: Adds body and a smooth consistency.
Asian Stir-Fries: Essential for creating glossy, thickened sauces for stir-fried meats and vegetables.
Crispy Fried Foods: Use to coat chicken, fish, shrimp, or vegetables before frying for an extra crispy result. Often used in tempura-style batters.
Custards & Puddings: Helps to set and thicken dairy-based desserts.
Fruit Sauces & Pie Fillings: Creates a clear, smooth thickened sauce for fruit pies and compotes.
Baking: A small amount can be added to some cake or cookie recipes for a finer texture.
Always mix cornflour with a small amount of cold liquid (water, milk, stock) to form a smooth slurry before adding it to hot liquids. This prevents lumps.
Cook gently after adding the cornflour slurry, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear (loses its raw, chalky taste). Avoid over-boiling once thickened.
