Corn flour is more finely ground than fine cornmeal. In many recipes, the two are interchangeable. I use cornmeal for making Cou-Cou and corn flour for Conkies and breads. I tend to stick to the brand of cornmeal I grew up using, which is Indian Girl, but there are other brands of high-quality cornmeal on the market. Look for bright yellow cornmeal or corn flour. I sometimes use millet flour, known as guinea corn flour in the Caribbean, in combination with cornmeal.
