Can I make tempura batter without Cornstarch?We Answered:
while rice flour or arrow root would be better substitutions . You could probably get away with regular flour this one time .Tiffany Said:
Do I need cornstarch for this recipe?We Answered:
The purpose of the cornstarch is to stablize and hold everything together. If that is all the ingredients in your muffin recipe, you do realize it will be quite bland. I'm not sure what you are making them for but you might consider adding some spices to it - like nutmeg or cinnamon. If you put a little cinnamon (1 tsp) in it and then use a little cinnamon in the glaze - it will give it some flavor. Your recipe doesn't even call for vanilla which would normally perk it up just a little.Natalie Said:

2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup orange marmalade

Brush crust lightly with egg white. Bake until crust is pale golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on rack while preparing filling. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 2/3 cups sugar until smooth. Beat in cornstarch, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, orange zest, lime zest, 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream. Pour filling into crust.
