 Here's a way to make the cornstarch paste called for in many of our


 recipes.


 


 Our recipes call for cornstarch paste as the thickening agent without


 specifying the exact proportions of cornstarch and water. This recipe is


 offered as an approximate guide until you find what works best for you.


 Some cooks prefer the thin paste, some prefer thick.


 


 Thoroughly mix together cornstarch and cold water. Always stir mixture


 again just before using because the starch settles.
