Laura - for leftover corn flour use your search agent, then on foods you use or like.
For example:
1) dusting foods like shrimp for deep frying
2) making crackers from scratch

Hi, yes you're right. In the UK a tin of corn flour is American corn starch. The reason for my question is that I'm interested in corn bread and I'm guessing if l use polenta it will be the same as corn Meal, which is what the recipe states. But what to do with the yellow corn flour (made with corn) that I bought. I live in Cyprus, so most things "foreign" are imported from Europe.
Corn flour is ground like flour. It can be used to make tortillas as well as a number of things. Corn meal is grainy and is used for things like grits, polenta, corn bread and so on.
I merely reference a former discussion, in which several people with Brittish connections (and, per one of them, Wikipedia) affirmed that usage in Brittain. A hotline search shows that the subject has come up several times. Also not to beconfused with corn flower (Centaurea Cyanea), also kknown as Bachelor's Button.
