Corn Starch Gravy and Other Tips image

These recipes and tips are on the side of a Canada corn starch box. I have always used this product and I have never had it fail me. Although it is called Canada Corn Starch it is actually from Memphis Tennessee. I have seen my mother, aunts and grandmother use this product so I do not know what this product would be called in the USA.
