Quarter the remaining strawberries; set aside for sauce. Preheat waffle iron to medium-high. Whisk all-purpose flour, pastry flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl until well combined. Add buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined and evenly moistened (some lumps may remain). Fold in the finely chopped strawberries. Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray; spoon on about 3/4 cup batter. Cook until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Meanwhile, combine the quartered strawberries and lemon zest in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the strawberries release their juices, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in maple syrup. Whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; add to the strawberry mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve the waffles with the sauce. To make ahead Wrap cooled waffles individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container; freeze for up to 2 months.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
