Ingredients

2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar, divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
6 1/4 cups oil, divided

Preparation

Heat a deep-fryer to 374 degrees.
In a bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
In another small bowl, combine/whisk together 1/4 cup oil, buttermilk and the egg; mix well to combine, add to flour mixture, and mix until very well combined with a wooden spoon.
Drop by teaspoonfuls into 6 cups hot oil (375 degrees); fry about 1-1/2 - 2 minutes, or until very light golden brown.
