In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
While the dough is resting, heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Once the dough has rested, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a donut cutter, cut out as many donuts as possible. Re-roll any scraps and cut out additional donuts.
Carefully place a few donuts at a time into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the donuts using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to cool and drain excess oil.
To make the honey glaze, combine honey, powdered sugar, and water in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Once the donuts are cooled slightly, dip each one into the honey glaze, ensuring each donut is coated thoroughly.
Let the glazed donuts sit on a wire rack for a few minutes to allow the glaze to set before serving.
