How can I diagnose whether a batter problem is caused by fermentation, consistency or cooking temperature?
Diagnose systematically: note whether the batter rose, whether its consistency changed, how it spreads, and whether it sets or browns correctly on the pan. Change one major variable at a time.
Why it happens
Batter problems can arise from fermentation, liquid-to-solid ratio, particle size, surface temperature or cooking time; several can produce similar symptoms.
How it works
Fermentation controls gas and acidity; consistency controls spread; temperature controls the speed of setting and moisture loss. Separating these variables makes it easier to identify the actual cause.
