Answer 2

Speisestärke, although I've also seen Maisstärke, and I can't guarantee that they will function the same.  (e.g., Backpulver isn't the same as baking powder.)

Answer 3

It is called SPEISESTAERKE  not Maismehl (that is corn flour),

Speisestaerke comes as Maisstaerke (corn) or Kartoffelstaerke (Potato). They both will work equally as good for your cherry crisp.

Answer 4

In german, It's called  Maisstärke or Maizena . Mmmmm...

Cherry Crisp.

Cheers :-)

Answer 5
