3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Put a single layer of buns, leaving a little space between, in the prepared pan. Spoon Spoon about 1/4 cup of the glaze over them. Repeat with the remaining balls of dough, forming 3 layers. Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place (75’ to 80’) until doubled about 11/2 hours. Preheat the oven to 375’. Bake for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 350’ and bake for 10 -minutes more. Let the ring cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15- minutes. Then working over a baking sheet, invert the pan onto the wire rack letting the excess glaze drain onto the baking sheet. Spoon the glaze back over the ring and serve
