I've got cornflour - white fine powdery stuff. I use it to marinate meat for stir fry with soy sauce.

I've use it to thicken soup - what else can it be used for and how?

Thanks peeps

You can use half and half with plain flour to make lovely crisp shortbread.
It's quite useful for making delicate sauces as well as pastries and cakes for people who cannot tolerate wheat gluten (it's actually made from maize, not wheat flour).

There are a few recipes given here:-- http://www.recipes4us.co.uk/Specials%20and%20H olidays/Cornflour%20Origin%20Uses%20Recipes.ht m

Add an egg white to your stir-fry marinade and it will combine with the cornflour to create a protective layer which keeps the chicken juicier.
You can keep the soy, salt, sesame oil, rice wine etc in there too, it'll still work.
