Ingredients
  

For the Golden Waffles:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

2 cups buttermilk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Maple Cream:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and remove any lumps.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or butter. Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (typically about ½ to ¾ cup, depending on your iron's size), and close the lid. Cook according to your waffle iron's instructions, usually for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

            Prepare Cinnamon Maple Cream: While the waffles are cooking, make the whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until it starts to thicken. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Continue to beat until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.

              Serve the Waffles: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve them warm topped with a generous dollop of the cinnamon maple cream. Drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired.

                Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries, and sprinkle with additional cinnamon for a delightful presentation.
