In a bowl, mix corn flour with 1 cup of water until smooth and lump-free.

In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine sugar and the remaining 2 cups of water. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely.

Transfer the mixture to a greased tray, spread it evenly, and allow it to cool and set for about 30 minutes.

8

Once set, cut into desired squares or diamond shapes and serve.
