Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Grease 1 - 2 6 ct. donut pans and set aside. To make donut holes, grease a mini muffin pan.

Step 1:  

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt together until well combined.

Step 2:  

In another large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Whisk in the butter, honey, vanilla extract and buttermilk until smooth and fully combine.

Step 3:  

Mix the dry ingredients to the wet. Whisk well until mostly smooth and combined. Carefully transfer the donut batter into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Pipe the donut batter into each of the prepared donut cavities in the donut pan. This should fill about ¾ of each cavity of the donut pan.

Step 4:  

Bake the donuts for about 10 -12  minutes. The donuts are done when the tops bounce back quickly when lightly pressed. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes before gently taking them out of the pan and transferring them onto a cooling rack.

Step 5:  

Make the vanilla buttermilk glaze by whisking the powdered sugar with buttermilk, milk or heavy cream until smooth and well combined.

Step 6:  

Dip the tops of the donuts in the glaze. Gently shake the glaze to allow any excess to fall away. Place the buttermilk glazed donuts on a cooling rack to set, top with any toppings such as sprinkles or edible flowers and enjoy.
