4. Classification of batters

1.       Thin
This is a batter made of equal parts liquid to flour; 1:1 ratio . It is also known as "Pour Batter" and when poured into a pan, takes the shape of the pan. It is used for pancakes.

2.       Drop
This batter should 'drop' from a spoon once mixed (and not run like thin batter). It is usually made of two parts flour to 1 part liquid; a 2:1 ratio. Drop batter will maintain its shape. It is used for waffles and crumpets.
