Why This one

a few words from me

Cornflour not only acts as a thickening agent, but it can also be used in baked goods like cookies, brownies and cakes. If you're searching for more structure in your favourite dessert recipe...Upon adding cornflour to your baked goods, evaluate it as you would a soup. Has your batter reached the desired consistency? If not, then a little more cornflour may be needed. Once your dough looks perfect, bake your dessert like usual. The result? Light, fluffy and delicious desserts made to perfection!
