That is a different product. The stuff I use comes in a 250 gram box and
is called Veloutine Instant Thickener. It contains potato flour, lactose,
maltodextrin, rice flour, caramel and monoglyceride.

It is very easy to use, Just bring the liquid to a bowl and add about 3
Tbsp. of Veloutine per cup of liquid and boil for one minute and after that
it is about as thick as it is going to get without cooking it more and
reducing the amount of liquid. You can start off with a little and know in
a minute if you need more or not. It is very reliable.
