Make sure you dilute the cornstarch in some of the milk first seperately, and add some of the hot milk mixture you have in the stove so it doesn't curdle. WHen using the cornstarch be sure to turn it off as soon as your custard thickens (will not take that long as soon as it boils or bubbles it's done)... flour will work but it won't be as good I'm afraid you might have a doughy taste, so I would stick with cornstarch or any other type of starch (tapioca or potato starch) these should be readily available most stores at a fair price.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705907653188301814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5374759176620153903.post-75083323700385159842013-03-19T16:17:57.607-07:002013-03-19T16:17:57.607-07:00Can you use something other than rice flour, like ...Can you use something other than rice flour, like regular flour?

Also you can make a "Poleada" or "Manjar Blanco" just boil the milk with cinnamon, and sugar, and thicken with cornstarch (which has been diluted with milk about 1 heaping tablespoon per cup of milk) that one also makes a good filling let me know how it turns out :)Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705907653188301814noreply@blogger.com
