[edit] Question

How does batter differ from dough? Water content?

I have no answer for you, but it's an excellent question.

My gut feeling is that it might be related to the thickness of the mixture: to me "batter" is a thick liquid and can be poured, whereas "dough" is much more solid and can be kneaded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.171.85.67 (talk) 08:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beer

I never guessed beer is used to prepare batter for fish. Vinegar is still used as a topping.Anwar (talk) 15:38, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
