Ingredients
  

For the Golden Waffles:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

2 cups buttermilk, brought to room temperature

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and allowed to cool slightly

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Maple Cream:

1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

A small pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron as per the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure even cooking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to thoroughly mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step helps to evenly distribute the leavening agents and eliminate any lumps.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly. Then, add in the buttermilk, melted butter (cooled), and vanilla extract. Whisk until all the wet ingredients are well combined and smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the mixture of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold them together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Take care not to overmix; it's perfectly fine if the batter remains slightly lumpy.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle maker, generally around ½ to ¾ cup, adjusting based on the size of your iron. Close the lid and cook according to the device’s instructions, typically for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

            Prepare Cinnamon Maple Cream: While the waffles are cooking, prepare the whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the chilled heavy whipping cream until it starts to thicken. Gradually add the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, and pinch of salt, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Avoid over-whipping to maintain a fluffy texture.

              Serve the Waffles: Once cooked, gently remove the waffles from the iron and serve them warm. Top with a generous dollop of the cinnamon maple cream. Feel free to drizzle additional maple syrup over the top if you desire extra sweetness.

                Garnish: For an attractive presentation, consider garnishing the waffles with fresh fruits like sliced strawberries or blueberries, and sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon to enhance the visual appeal.
