MAIZENA 700g CASE

Maizena Fleur de maïs is corn starch, the only ingredient in the box (100%). This 700 g box is marked as a catering size and comes from Unilever Food Solutions. The pack states that it is gluten-free and carries the European Vegetarian Union vegan logo and a lactose-free logo. It is a very fine white powder with no taste that thickens when heated.

In cooking, mix it with a little cold water or milk before pouring it into a hot sauce, gravy or custard: it thickens without lumps. In baking, the box suggests replacing part of the flour for lighter cakes. For 50 servings, a pound cake goes from 1,500 g of flour to 1,000 g of flour and 500 g of Maizena, a sponge or Swiss roll from 830 g of flour to 250 g of flour and 580 g of Maizena, and a savarin to 625 g of each. A useful guide: a level teaspoon weighs 3 g, a level tablespoon 10 g.

Close the box well and keep it dry. The best-before date is printed on the top of the pack. You will also find it on the shelves of our shop, 58 rue Tiquetonne, Paris.
