Description

Organic Corn Flour is an Excellent Wheat Flour Alternative.

Our organic cornflour is a great alternative to wheat flour and can be used in breads, pancakes, waffles and pastries. Organic corn flour has a sweet, earthy flavour. Corn flour works well combined with other flour types such as tigernut flour, almond flour or even buckwheat flour.

Our organic corn flour is completely free of GMO corn and is not irradiated so makes a healthy alternative to non-organic. If you want to learn more about choosing organic, read our blog on why organic is better.

Cornflour is produced by removing the germ (inner core) of the kernel and then grinding the remaining kernel down to a powder. Corn starch on the other hand contains the starchy endosperm of the kernel making it a great thickener.

Is maize flour the same as corn flour? Maize flour and corn flour aren’t the same, but they both come from corn. Maize flour is a fine, yellow or white flour made from whole corn kernels, used for baking and tortillas. In the UK, cornflour is the same as corn starch, a fine, white powder used to thicken sauces, soups, and gravies.

Family Tips:

  • Crispier Coatings: Use corn flour to coat chicken, fish, or vegetables before frying for a light, crispy texture. You can even mix it with spices for extra flavour.
  • Light & Fluffy Baking: Mix it with regular flour in cakes or muffins for a lighter, softer crumb.
  • Smooth, Lump-Free Sauces: Mix corn flour with a little cold water before adding it to hot liquids to avoid lumps in sauces, gravies, and soups.
  • Homemade Tempura Batter: Combine corn flour with sparkling water for a simple, crispy tempura batter that works on everything from vegetables to prawns.
  • Gluten-Free Pancakes: Use corn flour with other gluten-free flours like almond or buckwheat to make soft, fluffy pancakes.
