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.
