In small sauce pan cook the poppy seed with honey and 1/4 cup water for 5-7 minutes. Let cool.

Preheat oven to 350. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the cooled poppy seed mixture to creamed mixture, and egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in sour cream and vanilla.
