What is batter typically made of?

Batter is typically made from a mixture of flour, milk or water, and an egg. This combination creates a versatile mixture that can be used to make a variety of baked goods, such as pancakes, cakes, and muffins. The flour provides structure, while the liquid (milk or water) hydrates the ingredients and helps achieve the desired consistency. The addition of an egg enhances the binding properties of the batter, contributing to the rise and texture of the final product.

While other combinations, such as blending sugar, fruits, and nuts, represent different recipes or mixtures, they do not constitute batter. Similarly, a mixture that consists solely of flour and water lacks the necessary elements, such as eggs or a liquid, to achieve the classic batter consistency used in baking.
