cornstarchy

Containing cornstarch.

Resembling or characteristic of cornstarch.

Cornstarch (about 1 to 1½ teaspoons per cup of liquid; allow time for gravy to cook and overcome the cornstarchy taste).

You’ll get rid of any residue cornstarchy taste if you continue to simmer the syrup for five minutes or so.
