egg batter

Whisked dipping liquid

Egg batter is a mixture of beaten eggs combined with other ingredients—typically flour, milk, and seasonings—used for coating foods before frying or as a base for dishes like pancakes or tempura.

The eggs help the batter adhere to food and create a crispy exterior when cooked: Dip the fish in egg batter before frying.
