What is "batter"?
Batter refers to a mixture made from combining flour, liquid (such as milk or water), and other ingredients, typically used as a coating or base for various fried or baked foods. It is a versatile ingredient that can be sweet or savory, depending on the recipe. The consistency of the batter can vary, ranging from thin and pourable to thick and scoopable, and it plays a crucial role in achieving the desired texture and flavor in dishes like pancakes, fried chicken, tempura, and cakes. The ingredients in the batter are whisked or mixed together until smooth and then applied to the food item before cooking or baking, resulting in a crispy, golden exterior or a tender, moist interior.
