If a recipe calls for cornstarch can I just use flour instead?

What is the usage?

Coating before pan frying?

Thickening a sauce?

Generally speaking, yes, but keep in mind that corn starch has more thickening power than flour.

Ever heard of google?

Yes, but I wanted the oppinion of my friends

Thank you. Will cornstarch lump as much as flour does in a sauce?

Either one you should mix with some water until smooth before adding...

But I dont want extra butter in my dish

If you're thickening a sauce, I'd recommend making a light roux with the flour.

2 parts oil or butter, 3 parts flour. Let the oil fry the flour a little, constantly stirring, only for a few minutes. It should turn a few shades lighter than peanut butter.

Whisk into your liquid that you need to thicken.
