Stir up Your Brain: Unlocking the Mystery of Mixing Batter – Can You Solve It?

As a detective, my mind was immediately drawn to the word “mix,” which indicates that we are trying to blend or combine different ingredients together. The clue “as batter” leads me to think that we are most likely talking about a cooking or baking context. From there, I begin to brainstorm different methods of mixing batter, such as whisking, beating, or stirring. However, whisking and beating are more aggressive actions than what typically is done to mix a batter, so I eliminate those options. Additionally, “stir” means to gently and systematically move the contents of the bowl around to ensure that all ingredients are well mixed. This method is most commonly used when talking about mixing batter. Thus, “stir” seems to be the perfect solution to the crossword clue ‘Mix, as batter’.
