cornflour
Sauce thickening agent
Cornflour is finely ground cornmeal used as a thickening agent in cooking.
In British English, cornflour refers to what Americans call cornstarch—the pure starch extracted from corn kernels.
In American English, corn flour typically means the whole grain ground fine, closer to masa.
Add a tablespoon of cornflour to thicken the sauce.
