.
This may depend on whether you're cooking English or American.
What Americans call corn starch, English call corn flour. It's a fine white powdery texture, slightly finer than ordinary wheat flour.
It is often used for making white sauces (bechemel or veloute) often flavoured with cheese or parsley in domestic cooking
