how much cornflour would you use to make half pint white sauce?

Answer 1

why are you using corn flour??????? if you use corn flour make sure you mix with cold water and mix first before pouring in to hot milk or you will have lumpy sauce /

better to melt 2oz of butter add normally flour untill it looks like a paste then add milk half pint and heat gently then add any flavour ..ppercorn veg stock cube parsley ect its much nicer and dosnt leave an after taste...

Answer 2

I wouldn't use cornflour to make white sauce. 2oz of strong flour and 2oz of butter. Melt the butter and add the flour - cook off the flour without colouring it and add your milk gradually.

The way I was taught involved heating the milk first - infused with a clove studded onion. That just means more to wash up.

On a different matter - have you considered using Arrowroot or Beurre Manie to thicken sauces?

Answer 3

I think you use half the amount you would have used for ordinary flour. I use 2oz of flour to a pint of milk. So use 1oz for half a pint.

So for cornflour you would use ½ oz per half pint. Happy sauce making.

Answer 4

mix cornflour in small jug then add a bit at a time untill you get the thickness you require.Try 4 teaspoons with half a cup of water ,i throw away what i do not need.Goodluck.ps.remember you can put a bit in at a time but you cannot take it back out.

Answer 5

Apply this to any recipe when using corn flour

Mix corn four with water about 2:1 water to corn flour . then just add a little by little stirring continuously . You will see the sauce start to thicken . Repeat this method until you reach your desired thickness .

Doing this enables you to alter consistency of any sauce/liquid to what you want

Enjoy

about a level tablespoon. the trick with white sauce is to put butter, flour and milk into a cold pan and heat gently, stirring all the time. if it gets too thick you can thin down with more milk, but you can't go the other way.
