1 cup water
1 cup milk
1 large egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
Pinch of nutmeg
4 to 6 cups vegetable oil
Confectioners sugar for sprinkling
Combine water, milk, and egg in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Add flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and nutmeg, and mix until the batter is smooth.
Heat the oil in a large deep pot or deep-fryer to 360 degrees. Drop batter by spoonfuls into hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown, turning 2 to 3 times. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
