please dose anyone know if you use corn starch in a counut cream pie and if so is it a half teaspoon?

Answer 1

Yes, but the amount depends on what size pie you are making. I am looking at a Betty Crocker Pie and Pastry cookbook and it calls for 3 TBSP for an 8" pie, 1/4 cup for a 9" pie and 1/4 cup + 2 TBSP for a 10" pie.

Yes coconut cream pies generally use cornstarch, but it is more than half a teaspoon. It is generally about 3 Tablespoons, or one quarter cup.
