Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, eggs, buttermilk, water, and strawberry puree until well combined.
Preheat your waffle iron and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour ½ cup of the batter onto the center of the iron. Close and allow the waffle to cook until your iron determines they are done. The waffle should be fluffy with golden and crispy edges.
Remove the waffle from the iron and place it on a baking sheet.
Place the waffles in a 200-degree oven to keep them warm while you make the remaining waffles.
To make the shortcakes, place one waffle on a plate.
Dust the waffle lightly with powdered sugar.
Drizzle the strawberry syrup over the waffle.
Place a scoop of ice cream in the center of the waffle.
Arrange sliced strawberries around the waffle and top with dollops of whipped cream.
