Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cardamom, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or brush it with melted butter.
Scoop the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using enough batter to fill the mold without overflowing (typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron).
Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron as needed between batches.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with your favorite accompaniments such as fresh berries, maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
