corn flour
Ground kernel starch
Corn flour is finely ground cornmeal, used in baking and as a thickener.
In British English, corn flour (or cornflour) refers specifically to what Americans call cornstarch—the pure starch extracted from corn kernels.
The American sense describes flour milled from the whole kernel: Corn flour gives these tortillas their yellow color.
