Stall out of table salt for batter
I believe the answer is:
beat
'batter' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'stall out of table salt' is the wordplay.
'out of' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'table'+'salt'='tablesalt'
'tablesalt' with 'stall' removed is 'BEAT'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for beat that I've seen before include "course run regularly" , "Strike; pulsate" , "Flog" , "Rhythmic musical unit" , "Policeman's route; strike" .)
