Bob's Red Mill Cornstarch

Bob's Red Mill Cornstarch is a dense powder obtained from the endosperm portion of corn. It is commonly used as a thickener for sauces, puddings, and such. It tends to form lumps so it is usually mixed with a small amount of liquid to make a paste before using it. Cornstarch is often included in shortbread recipes, where it helps contribute a crumbly and tender texture in the finished product.
