Preparation
Mixing the Dry Ingredients
Combine dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
Whisk mixture
Whisk the dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution.
Incorporating the Wet Ingredients
Mix wet ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Combine wet and dry
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon to form a smooth, thick batter.
Do not overmix the batter; it should be just combined. Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes for better texture.
Cooking Process
Heat the oil
Preheat the oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Fry the buns
Using an ice cream scoop, drop small balls of batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.
Drain the buns
Remove the buns with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
