  In a large mixer bowl combine 1-1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, salt,
  and nutmeg. Mix well. In a saucepan, heat water, milk, and
  shortening to 120°F. Add to flour mixture. Add egg. Blend at slow
  speed until well mixed. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand

  and divide into two parts. Roll dough into a 12x6" rectangle. Cut
  rectangle into 1" strips. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
  Heat oil to 425°F. Fry each strip until golden brown. Drain on
  paper toweling. Coat with frosting.

  Prepare Frosting:

  In a small sauce pan combine butter and brown sugar. Boil for
  2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add maple flavoring and half &
  half. Stir in enough powdered sugar to make spreadable frosting.
