Stew pan out with superior batter (7)
I believe the answer is:
goulash
'stew' is the definition.
(goulash is a kind of stew)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for goulash that I've seen before include "Spicy Hungarian stew" , "Hungarian stew of seasoned meat and veg" , "deal that nobody likes" , "Hungarian stew of meat and veg with seasoning" , "food" .)
