  7. For the frosting, melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until butter begins to turn golden brown and smells nutty, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer butter to a bowl; cool for 10 minutes.

  8. Whisk in honey and vanilla. Whisk in powdered sugar until smooth, adding water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency. The frosting will look separated but will come together with whisking in water a little at a time.
