I've tried batter for my first time last night with my wife. We chose brownie batter that was warmed and cool whip pies for the dichotomy of feelings. However, the batter turned out to be a suspension rather than a solution as I was hoping, and quickly became unusable.
If anybody has experience with batter, how do you get it to blend so finely and stay that way? My recipe was 250 ml Canola Oil, 50 ml Water, and a box of 522 g Betty Crocker Brownie Batter. Are the eggs important? Should I have avoided the oil?
Any help is appreciated. Here's a picture of some of the material we used:
I've never added oil or anything to brownie batter. Just water. I mix warm water with my arm (because I've never bought a drill mixer.) that way you know how thick it is. You can also strain it through a mesh to get rid of any clumps.
the eggs (or powdered lecithin as a substitute) are important if you use oil as it emulsifies the oil to have it creamy and even throughout the mixture
