Make the doughnuts: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, honey, egg and vanilla extract. Add the buttermilk and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined – make sure not to overmix. Transfer the batter to a piping bag. In a separate bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, brown sugar and crushed pecans.

Fill a greased doughnut pan halfway with the batter. Sprinkle the sugar mixture onto the doughnuts, then top with another layer of batter.

Bake at 400F for 7 minutes. Cool for 1 minute in the pan, then flip the pan over to remove the doughnuts and cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the glaze: Cream the cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the confectioner’s sugar and milk and mix until combined. Dunk the doughnuts into the glaze and transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy!
