Wheat flour

Unlike cornstarch, wheat flour has protein and fiber, as well as starch. This means you may substitute flour for cornstarch, but you will need more of it to get the same results.For thickening purposes, it is recommended to use twice as much white flour as cornstarch. Therefore, use 2 tablespoons of white flour for 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.

Just as with all-purpose flour, cooking using whole wheat flour is simple. Wheat flour can also be used to thicken sauce and bread recipes for meat. The recipe has a rich, nutty flavor when made using whole wheat flour. It is often used to make a paste that may be added to water or melted butter to thicken sauces, gravies, stews, and soups. Even though white flour is only used in small amounts as a thickener, it can raise the overall quantity of carbs in your diet. If you're replacing cornstarch with wheat flour, keep in mind that those with gluten-related disorders shouldn't use it because it contains gluten.
