These are delicious for a morning coffee.

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg or mace
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 egg

Mix all dry ingredients together. Then add cooking oil, milk and egg. Mix thoroughly. Drop by small teaspoonful (too large does not cook thoroughly) into deep hot oil (375 degrees F). Fry about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper. Roll warm puffs in cinnamon-sugar or confectioners' sugar.

Makes about three dozen.

The batter may be kept in refrigerator several days.
