For most things, the all purpose flour will do you fine. Especially since you're a
beginner, because it's well balanced and works for most recipes.
The only thing I would add is that, nothing beats malted flour for waffles! lol And
if you have a Cost Plus World Market near you, buy it there, where it is usually
cheaper than Amazon, especially once you figure in the shipping.

Good luck, and keep us posted!
