Can I substitute flour for cornstarch in a recipe that already calls for flour?!


Question: Can I substitute flour for cornstarch in a recipe that already calls for flour!?
I went to make this recipe only to find out we don't have any corn starch!. Now I know I can substitute flour in other things but can I add flour even though it already calls for flour!? Here's the recipe!.

Answers:
Although they have different chemical properties, I would probably try it anyway, not expecting to get the same results as the original recipe!. I'm kind of a mad scientist in the kitchen, though!. As long as you're cool with that, I don't see why you shouldn't give it a go!. Experimentation is the mother of all new recipes!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. Cornstarch and Flour do different things in a recipe!. Especially when it calls for a 1/4 cup!. That's too much to substitute!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
