In a small cup, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), cold whole milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle this liquid mixture evenly over the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a fork or pulse a few times until the dough just begins to clump together into a cohesive ball. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time.
