Culinary Versatility: Corn starch is an essential ingredient for thickening soups, sauces, and gravies, giving them a smooth, lump-free consistency. It’s also commonly used in baking, where it helps create tender cakes, cookies, and pastries by softening the texture of the flour. In addition, corn starch is often used in frying to give foods a crispy, golden crust.
Perfect Thickener: Tit-Bit Corn Starch is ideal for thickening liquids without altering the flavor of your dish. It’s perfect for making gravies, custards, and pie fillings, ensuring they reach the desired consistency without being too heavy or gluey. Simply mix the corn starch with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry before adding it to your hot liquids to avoid clumping.
Baking Essential: In baking, corn starch can be used to lighten the texture of cakes and cookies. It can be mixed with all-purpose flour to create a cake flour substitute or used to dust surfaces when rolling out dough, preventing sticking without adding extra gluten.
Crispy Coating: For frying, corn starch is an excellent alternative to flour. It creates a light, crispy coating on meats, vegetables, and other foods, making it a favorite for Asian-style stir-fries and fried chicken. The starch absorbs moisture and expands, resulting in a perfectly crunchy texture.
High-Quality and Pure: Tit-Bit ensures that their corn starch is made from the finest corn, processed to achieve a pure, fine powder. The starch is free from any additives or preservatives, making it a safe and natural choice for all your cooking and baking needs.
Easy to Use and Store: Tit-Bit Corn Starch is easy to use—simply measure the required amount and mix as directed in your recipe. It comes in a convenient, resealable package that keeps it fresh and dry, ready for use whenever you need it. Store it in a cool, dry place away from moisture to maintain its quality.
Ideal for Gluten-Free Cooking: For those following a gluten-free diet, corn starch is a great alternative to wheat flour for thickening and baking. It’s naturally gluten-free, making it a safe choice for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
