Step 1
Heat waffle iron to high. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
Step 2
Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter in another bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Fold wet ingredients into dry until just combined—lumps are fine, don't overmix.
Step 4
Pour batter into waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, ~4 minutes per waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 5
Whip cold heavy cream with 1 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form, ~2 minutes with a whisk or mixer.
Step 6
Stack waffles on plates, top with strawberries and a generous dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.
