- Add milk and bring just to a gentle simmer.
- Remove from heat and quickly whisk in the flour and salt until smooth and thick.
- Allow mixture to cool for 2–3 minutes.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, whisking well after each until batter is smooth and glossy.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons honey.

- Serve warm for the best texture (crispy outside, airy inside).
Notes
- For best results, serve immediately after baking.
