How does arrowroot powder perform compared with cornstarch or flour?

Arrowroot thickens more efficiently than wheat flour and can replace cornstarch in many recipes without adding flavor. It sets to a clear, glossy finish rather than the opaque or chalky result cornstarch sometimes produces. Because it thickens at lower temperatures, it’s suited to delicate preparations.

• Two teaspoons arrowroot = roughly 1 tablespoon cornstarch for thickening power.
• One teaspoon arrowroot can replace 1 tablespoon of flour in many recipes.
• Beats cornstarch in clarity; stays neutral in taste when undercooked.
• Sets at lower heat, so it’s helpful for fruit glazes and sauces.

What’s the best way to use Hoosier Hill Farm arrowroot in sauces and gravies?

For gravies and pan sauces, dissolve arrowroot in a small amount of cool water before adding to hot juices so it incorporates smoothly. Drizzle the slurry into the sauce over medium-high heat while whisking; thicken in about 10–15 minutes and remove from heat to prevent breaking the gel. Use modest amounts — arrowroot is potent — and avoid boiling for long once thickened.

• Mix 2–3 teaspoons arrowroot with cool water per cup of pan juices for gravy.
• Stir constantly while heating; thickens in roughly 10–15 minutes.
• Remove from heat promptly to preserve texture and avoid thinning.
• Use a whisk or fine sieve to prevent lumps when adding the slurry.

Can arrowroot be used in baking, puddings and fruit fillings?

Yes — arrowroot is widely used for pies, puddings and clear jellies because it yields a glossy, neutral result that showcases fruit flavors. It works as a one-for-one substitute with adjustments: less arrowroot is usually needed than flour or cornstarch. It's especially useful when clarity and a smooth mouthfeel are desired.

• Use for fruit pie fillings and glazes to keep colors vivid and sauces clear.
• Great in puddings and custards where sheen and texture matter.
• Reduce quantities compared to flour: 1 tsp arrowroot ≈ 1 tbsp flour.
• Mix into cool liquid first to avoid lumping before heating gently.
