H...Potato starch can be substituted for cornstarch. However, I haven't tried it in this recipe and can't assure that the texture and all the outcome will be the same! <br /><br />If you try to use potato starch, make sure you watch it carefully because it starts thickening faster and at a lower temperature than cornstarch. Try adding a little less potato starch and cook over low heat, stirring constantly! I've also heard that potato starch doesn't hold so well as cornstarch so this might be a problem. I don't recommend substituting cornstarch but if you do so, I would like to hear about the results!Gabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503514066128806270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823660393288735762.post-50143319327716782602013-04-17T19:24:35.774-07:002013-04-17T19:24:35.774-07:00Dear Gaby,

I want to make it for my brother-in-law, who loves the French flan. I have one question though: can you substitute the cornstarch with potato flour? If yes, would it be the same amount?<br /><br />Best,<br />EwaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823660393288735762.post-71472177150922106672012-12-21T09:56:49.078-08:002012-12-21T09:56:49.078-08:00Hi Cecile, thanks to you!!Hi Cecile, thanks to you!!Gabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503514066128806270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823660393288735762.post-26307976030786777932012-12-20T16:16:43.422-08:002012-12-20T16:16:43.422-08:00Hi Gaby,

When it was in the oven I thought it would be a disaster because of that black top which rose while baking. But when I sliced it the next day I was surprised! I think you will not have problems with making this. However, it is important that when you pour the egg/cornstarch mixture into the boiling milk, you do it slowly and keep whisking ALL THE TIME. And also you must leave your flan in the fridge overnight. I wish to hear from you when you bake it!Gabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503514066128806270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823660393288735762.post-13289081759153239672012-10-28T14:35:05.936-07:002012-10-28T14:35:05.936-07:00I'm half french, so I really miss this dessert...I'm half french, so I really miss this dessert since it's so difficult to find in England :( It is my all time favourite dessert! :) Yours looks absolutely divine, and I really can't wait to give this a go! <br /><br />I've never tried to make a pastry dough before :s Any tips? ^^'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823660393288735762.post-12853567224434101172012-04-10T08:09:32.838-07:002012-04-10T08:09:32.838-07:00Hi!!

It's a delicious snack ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558027343944212103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823660393288735762.post-75822414865895990822012-04-08T05:43:23.031-07:002012-04-08T05:43:23.031-07:00I hope your boyfriend will like this!
