 Here's a way to make the cornstarch paste called for
 in many of our recipes.

 Our recipes call for cornstarch paste as the
 thickening agent without specifying the exact
 proportions of cornstarch and water.  This recipe is
 offered as an approximate guide until you find what
 works best for you. Some cooks prefer the thin paste,
 some prefer thick.

 Thoroughly mix together cornstarch and cold water.
 Always stir mixture again just before using because
 the starch settles.
