To be blunt, the term corn flour has been rendered useless by its multiple and diverse meanings. In the UK, corn flour refers to the white, powdery corn derivative that we call cornstarch in the USA. In the USA, corn flour, depending on the source, can refer to very finely ground white or yellow corn meal, corn meal mix (often used in corn bread), or the semi-fine ground corn meal used in tortillas and other native American/Mexican dishes. Thus, consider the source and try to apply some common sense when using a recipe calling for non-specific corn flour.

Corn starch- Corn starch, cornstarch and maize starch are similar in meaning.
the corn starch is a starch of the corn grain obtained from the endosperm of the corn kernel.
Method of Preparation- The corn is steep for 30 to 48 hours, which ferments it slightly. The germ is separated from the endosperm and those two components are ground separately (still soaked). Next the starch is removed from each by washing. It is separated from the gluten and other substances, mostly in hydro cyclones and centrifuges, and dried. This process is called wet milling.

∙ 14y agoThis is one of those instances in which the differences between UK English, US English, and possibly Australian English become much more apparent.
The finely powdered white starch of maize grain is called cornflour in the UK, but cornstarch in the US. Wheat starch is called cornflour in Australia. Maize flour, the coarser grind, is called cornflour sometimes in the US, but more frequently it's called cornmeal. Cornflour can also refer to masa harina, the flour of hominy, which is dried corn cooked with lime-water. Hominy was a discovery of mesoamerican cultures.
