>>There isn't a product known as "cornflour."   There is Flour
heat  -unless labeled differently in bold writing)  and there is  *Corn
meal*.   Which is ground maize.  and Corn starch which is a corn product.

sugar) flour in the States?  It is used for thickening and so on just like
the maize product you call "corn starch" (which term I have met before in
American cookbooks).

 we still call it "Flour"  albeit it may be labeled as being ultra-fine
ground  -- and it is labeled & marketed  *specifically*  for use as a
thickener for gravy & such.   There is also Masa Harina,  a Hispanic grocery
product, which is  ground a bit finer than  corn meal .
