Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined and still lumpy, avoiding over-mixing.

Let the batter sit in the fridge for 5 to 7 minutes.

Prepare cinnamon butter by mixing room temperature butter, honey, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until well combined, adding a pinch of salt to taste.
