Maicena
A cornstarch-based powder used as a thickener for foods like sauces and desserts. It is also used to make a traditional pudding called dulce de maicena or manjar, which is very popular in the region south of Lake Maracaibo (the large brackish lake in northwestern Venezuela).
We need to add Maicena to this sauce, it is nothing but water. Sweetie, you have some Maicena pudding in the fridge.
