1. Bring the water and salt to a boil in a heavy pot.
2. Lower the heat and whisk in the flour a little at a time so no lumps form.
3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes a thick, smooth porridge that pulls away from the sides, about 15–20 minutes.
4. Warm the clarified butter until just melted.
5. Spoon the porridge into bowls, make a well in the center of each, and fill it with warm clarified butter and honey.
6. Serve immediately, mixing the butter and honey into the porridge as you eat.
