In the United States corn flour is different than cornstarch. And then
you can also find cornmeal. Cornmeal is grittier than corn flour. Corn
flour is more fine like flour. Masa is a type of cornmeal that is
processed with lime, used in making tamales and tortillas, Mexican
style. But if you are in the UK, corn flour IS cornstarch.
