  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Using a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and honey at medium speed for about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and blend for an additional minute.
