# How To Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and ground cardamom. Set aside.
02 - In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
03 - Add eggs and melted butter to the yeast mixture and whisk until well combined.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
05 - Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
06 - Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
07 - Punch down dough and roll out to ½-inch thickness. Cut out donuts using a 3-inch donut cutter, creating 1-inch holes in the center.
08 - Place shaped donuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
09 - Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F.
10 - Working in batches, carefully fry donuts for 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
11 - Whisk together honey, powdered sugar, milk, cardamom, and salt until smooth.
12 - Dip warm donuts into honey glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wire rack to set.
