Important!
Corn flour is not a substitute for cornstarch. They are two completely different things here in the US.
Cornstarch is obtained from the endosperm portion of the kernel and is used as a thickening agent. Corn flour is finely ground cornmeal and it's used for making bread, tortillas, etc.
*If you live in the UK, I believe cornstarch is called corn flour.
