- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a saucepan, whisk water and cornstarch together until blended.

- Turn temperature to high and bring to boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened (note: the sauce will thicken further as it cools).

If you like your sauces thicker add more cornstarch, approx. 1/2 tablespoon. Just make sure you are always blending cornstarch with a little water first, then add to your sauce.
