Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 8 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature

  • 3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature

  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

  • ½ cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons milk

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Mix flour, 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons butter, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until well incorporated. Stir in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk until dough comes together.

  2. Roll dough 1/4-inch thick on a floured work surface and cut into small pieces.

  3. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry dough pieces in batches until they turn golden brown and float to the surface, 3 to 5 minutes.
