                        Vegetable oil
   2      cups          all-purpose flour
     1/4  cup           sugar
   1      teaspoon      salt
   1      teaspoon      baking powder

Heat oil (2 to 3 inches) in Dutch oven to 375F. Mix flour, sugar, salt,
baking powder, nutmeg and baking soda in large bowl. Add oil, buttermilk and
egg; beat with fork until smooth. Drop batter by teaspoonfuls (do not make
too large or they will not cook through) into hot oil. Fry about 3 minutes
or until golden brown on both sides; drain on paper towels. Immediately roll
in sugar.
