Gather @all-purpose flour{500%g}, @dry yeast{7%g}, @ground nutmeg{0.5%tsp} and @vegetable oil{1%l}.

Whisk the flour, @sugar{100%g}, yeast, nutmeg and @salt{0.5%tsp} together, then beat in the lukewarm @water{450%ml} to make a thick, stretchy batter — looser than bread dough, thicker than pancake batter.

Cover and leave in a warm spot until doubled and bubbling, about 1 hour. ~{1%hours}

Heat the oil to 170°C in a deep pan — a small drop of batter should rise slowly to the surface.

Scoop palmfuls of batter and squeeze rounds off between thumb and forefinger into the oil, or use two spoons.

Fry in batches, rolling them over as they puff, until deep golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Drain on paper and serve warm, dusted with sugar or dunked in chocolate if the party demands it.
