Unlike most other flours, cornflour blends to a smooth Cream or slurry when combined with cold liquid . It therefore cuts the need for fats when used to make Sauces and eliminates the hazard of lumps forming. Because it is tasteless, it can be used in delicate sauces and recipes which call for a thickening agent although if a totally translucent effect is desired, then arrowroot would be a better ingredient to use.
