What is cornstarch called here in Germany?

Question

I want to make a cherry crisp, and the recipe calls for cornstarch.

Answer 1

It is called SPEISESTAERKE not Maismehl (that is corn flour),



Speisestaerke comes as Maisstaerke (corn) or Kartoffelstaerke (Potato). They both will work equally as good for your cherry crisp.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 5

Speisestärke, although I've also seen Maisstärke, and I can't guarantee that they will function the same. (e.g., Backpulver isn't the same as baking powder.)

Answer 6

its called maismehl and you can get it in them big supermarkets :)
