# How to Cook:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and ground cardamom.
02 - In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk and allow to sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
03 - Add eggs and melted butter to the yeast mixture and whisk until fully combined.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
05 - Knead dough on a floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
06 - Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow to rise in a warm location for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
07 - Punch down risen dough and roll out to ½-inch thickness on a floured surface.
08 - Using a donut cutter or two round cutters (3-inch outer and 1-inch inner), cut out donut shapes and holes.
09 - Transfer cut donuts to parchment-lined baking sheets, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
10 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Working in batches, fry donuts 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
11 - Whisk together honey, powdered sugar, milk, cardamom, and salt until smooth and pourable.
12 - Dip warm donuts into honey glaze, allowing excess to drip off, then place on rack to set.
