butter or batter on cooking program !?
I was listening to cooking show but
I couldn't understand which butter or batter is.

The narrator told that " ~~ pour the butter ?? into bowl
but in fact , It was batter ^_^ ; because the narrator told "mixed together " just before that. but , it's hard for me to understand . but .... I think , if it is movie , I can understand from movie but it's hard for me to understand the difference in audio-format.

Can people living in English speaking countries distinguish ?

Answer

Butter is a dairy product. Batter is a mixture of ingredients such as flour, milk, eggs etc. often used to coat food such as ebi and kakiage tempura :)

EDIT: Oops! Didn't see the entire question Perhaps it's in British accent which made the batter sound like butter ;)

Answer

if the narrator referred to that "mixed together" thing or something, he really meant "batter"

thanks to Peachey for marking the difference in pronunciation.

:)

Answer

Yes, there is a difference in pronunciation: a short 'uh' sound for butter, and a short 'ah' sound for batter.

Have you tried the Betty Botter tongue twister?
