Mix the water, honey and yeast in a small bowl. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add all dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated. Add honey mixture, eggs and milk. Turn machine on to med speed and let mix for 2-4 min.
To form bun shape, distribute batter into a muffin pan, whoopee pie pan or other pan with shallow indentations. It is possible to make these on a cookie sheet as well, however, they will spread more.
Set pan uncovered in a warm area to rise for no longer than 30 min.
Bake for 20 min or until buns are nicely browned on top. Drizzle with extra honey if desired and serve warm with butter on the side.
