Description
Yellow corn flour is simply a corn meal that has been milled to a fine flour. It is made from the whole dried kernels of yellow corn. The germ and bran are removed from cleaned yellow corn and subsequently ground and bolting the endosperm (to separate and retain the coarse parts, with a sieve). It is in the form of yellow, free-flowing powder and has a fine, smooth texture. It is used in combination with other flours in baking. It is also considered a thickener (increases the viscosity of a liquid without altering its properties) and a binding agent (holds the materials together to form a cohesive whole).
