This recipe made some nice little cakes that are very moist owing to the honey in them. I used regular salted butter, and did not add any more salt. The recipe does not call for salt, but on eating the cakes, I felt that something - probably a little salt - was missing. This may just be me, of course. They were very quick and easy to make. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
