What is the diffrence between a batter and dough?
The main difference between batter and dough lies in their consistency:
* Batter is a thin, pourable mixture, usually containing more liquid than flour. Think of pancake batter, cake batter, or waffle batter.
* Dough is a thicker, more solid mixture, typically containing more flour than liquid. Think of pizza dough, bread dough, or cookie dough.
Here's a table summarizing the key differences:
| Feature | Batter | Dough |
|--------------|---------------|---------------|
| Consistency | Thin, pourable | Thick, solid |
| Flour to Liquid Ratio | More liquid | More flour |
| Examples | Pancakes, cakes, waffles | Bread, pizza, cookies |
| Baking Method | Often cooked on a flat surface (griddle, pan) or in a mold | Usually baked in an oven |
In short, batter is thin enough to pour, while dough is thick enough to knead or roll.
