     1/4  c             Butter -- softened
   1      c             Sugar
   2      lg            Egg yolks -- beaten
   1      lg            Egg -- beaten
   4      c             Unbleached flour
   2      ts            Baking powder
     1/4  ts            Nutmeg
     1/2  ts            Baking soda
     3/4  c             Butter
                        Confectioners' sugar

Cream the butter and sugar. Stir in egg yolks and whole egg; blend.

In a separate bowl, sift all dry ingredients except the
confectioners' sugar; add to creamed mixture, alternating with
buttermilk. Stir to mix all ingredients. Cook by dropping spoonsfuls
of dough into 375°F deep fat. Fry a few at a time, to keep fat
temperature constant. Turn to brown on all sides. Drain on paper
towels; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
