Can I use self raising flour for churros?

Here's why:

* Self-raising flour contains baking powder. This is meant to help bread rise, but in churros, it can make them too fluffy and light.

* Churros should have a slightly chewy texture. The baking powder in self-raising flour can make them too soft and crumbly.

* The flavor of churros relies on the simple combination of flour, water, and sugar. Adding baking powder can alter the flavor slightly.

For the best churros, use plain all-purpose flour. This will give you the perfect texture and flavor.

If you absolutely need to use self-raising flour:

* Reduce the amount you use. Start with 1/2 cup less self-raising flour than the recipe calls for.

* Add a bit of cornstarch. This will help to create a smoother, more cohesive dough.

Remember: The key to perfect churros is a good dough. If you use self-raising flour, adjust your recipe accordingly and experiment to find the best balance for your taste.
