2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.

6. 6

   Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using a ladle or measuring cup to ensure even distribution.

8. 8

   Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
