Method
- Combine the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy.
- Add the sugar and whisk to dissolve.
- Add the butter and vanilla and continue to whisk for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time, blending together until a stiff dough forms.
- Lightly flour a work surface and sprinkle the dough with a little flour.
- Pat the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.

- Heat the oil to 360°F. in a deep-fryer or deep saucepan.
