    Bjr si on a pas de maïzena on peut remplacer par la farine fluide sans grumeau pour sauce?

      Bonjour Karima,

      Oui vous pouvez remplacez par la farine fluide si vous n’avez pas de maïzena, sachez tout de même que le maïzena permet d’alléger la texture, ce qui risque de ne pas être le cas pour la farine.

      Je vous conseil de diminuer légèrement le dosage pour la farine.

      Bonne journée à vous
