¾ cup (170g) of melted butter
4 eggs, at room temperature
¼ cup (80g) of honey

Directions
1: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
Pour in the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, honey, and vanilla extract.
Stir until the mixture forms a sticky, thick batter.
2: First Rise
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel.
Let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease a donut pan generously with butter or non stick spray.
4: Fill the Donut Pan
Scoop the risen dough into the donut cavities, filling each about ¾ full.
5: Bake
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
6: Cool and Decorate
Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Top with glaze, sugar, cinnamon, or enjoy plain!
