Pancake batter should be stirred just enough to blend the wet and dry ingredients. A few lumps are expected. I usually use a fork or wire wisp. You don't really need a blender or electric mixer.
Yorkshire pudding, one of my favorite holiday side dishes, needs to be well blended. The air you beat into it helps it rise. I find the newer electric mixers have beaters that are much smaller than they used to be. If you want them as big as the standard GE mixer used to have, you probably have to buy a high end machine. The bigger the beaters,are, the easier it is to get a smooth batter with lots of air. Same goes for beating egg whites.

I have a question about making batter for things such as making yorkshire puddings and pancakes when you make the batter if you don't have any sight does any-one know how you can tell that its mixed well enough and all the lumps are out of it? God bless.
