Method
Waffle Batter Preparation

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Combine Wet and Dry
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Let the Batter Rise
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-60 minutes, until it has doubled in size.
