Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Whisk the water into the cornstarch.
- Continue whisking until smooth.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into your hot liquid or sauce that you are thickening.
- Whisk constantly until it reaches the desired consistency.
Notes
- Add the liquid to the cornstarch, not the reverse. Fewer lumps that way.
- Whisk until completely smooth before it goes anywhere near your sauce.
- Add the slurry gradually. You can always add more, but you can't un-thicken a sauce.
- Whisk constantly while pouring it in so it distributes evenly instead of clumping.
- Add it at the end of cooking, not the beginning, or it'll break down.
