Morphology
The meaning 'a liquid mixture ... used as the base for making pancakes' is directly and compositionally derived from 'pancake' (a type of thin fried cake) + 'batter' (a runny flour-and-egg mixture); the compound simply specifies the type/purpose of the batter. This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common noun-noun composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Pancake batter is a simple, literal name: batter is the thin mixture you pour onto a hot pan to make a pancake. So it means the liquid 'mixture' of flour, eggs, and milk used to cook pancakes.
