So I'm sure I can use it however, the recipie calls for 3 tablespoons of cornflour do I use the same amount of arrowroot? Reply Quote
By Yummy 05 Feb 2013 15:29	Arrowroot I actually prefer Arrowroot to Cornflour when making fruit dishes that need a thickening agent, particularly Lemon Meringue as I think it gives a nice consistency and effect to the lemon sauce. I especially like to use it when I make Chinese Lemon Chicken too. Reply Quote
