Science
Leavening agents (baking powder/soda) react to produce gas bubbles, creating a light, airy texture when cooked.
Storage
Most batters are best used immediately; some can be refrigerated briefly (1-2 days) but may require re-whisking.
Usage
Fundamental for frying (tempura, fish), baking (cakes, muffins), and griddle cooking (pancakes, waffles).
