Replacing Cornstarch with Flour in Potato Pancakes Recipe
I have followed this recipe for Korean cheese potato pancakes a few times, and the results come out as expected. I don't have a lot of corn starch on hand and would like to make a larger serving of the pancakes. Is it possible to replace the corn starch (partially or fully) with flour? Would this effect the crispiness of the pancakes?
Best Answer
Based on personal experience with other Korean pancakes, you can replace the cornstarch with flour, but at the cost of making the pancakes less crispy and more chewy.
If you have tapioca starch, potato starch, or even rice flour, that would work somewhat better.

All-purpose flour and wheat flour aren't the best alternatives but will do the job in a pinch. Use double the amount of flour in place of potato starch, and your recipe will thicken in no time. Of course, this is not a gluten-free alternative.What happens if I use flour instead of cornstarch?
If you don't have cornstarch, all-purpose flour will work as a thickening agent. Use twice as much flour as you would cornstarch. Potato starch is another good substitute for both thickening and baking, as it delivers similar results to cornstarch and requires an equal amount.[No Yeast] If you have FLOUR, SALT, POTATOES, EVERYONE can make this. Incredibly delicious!
