Starch in the kitchen is not the most forgotten ingredient, even if we are talking about homemade pastry.

In some cases, potato or corn starch can significantly affect the quality of the finished dish, it is also noteworthy that the type of dough in this case does not matter.

For manty

To prepare the perfect dough for manty, you need to take about 30-40% of corn starch from the total volume of flour. The dough will turn out thin, but it will not break, and it is suitable for dumplings.

For a biscuit

In this case, flour and starch are mixed in a ratio of 2: 1, so that the baking turns out to be airy and dry.

For pancakes

If you mix starch with flour in a ratio of 1:1, then the pancakes will turn out not just delicious, but also very thin and tender.
