If you ever need to thicken a sauce, gravey or even a soup, here's how.
Ingredients
- Corn Flour.
- Water (Must be cold).
Method
- Add about a table spoon of corn flour to a small bowl.
- Pour in a small amount of the water and stir, keep adding a little bit of water and stirring until you have a really thick paste, it must not be allowed to get runny.
- pour a bit of this mixture into the sauce, gravy or soup and stir, if after a minute it still needs thickening then pour some more in and stir.
Warning
Never EVER add corn flour directly into your sauce, gravey or soup as corn flour thickens instantly when you add it to hot liquid, you will end up with lots of white lumps instead of it thickening which looks terrible. Always mix cornflour with cold water first.
