7. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown.
8. While the rolls are baking, prepare the honey butter by combining 6 tablespoons of salted butter at room temperature and 3 tablespoons of honey.
9. Once the rolls are done, remove them from the oven and immediately brush them with the honey butter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt to taste.
