In a large bowl, whisk together flour, nutmeg, and salt.

Add the yeast mixture, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the flour; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Cut out doughnuts using a doughnut cutter or two round cutters.

Place the cut doughnuts on a floured baking sheet; let rise for another 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the doughnuts in batches until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Remove doughnuts and drain on paper towels; cool slightly.

Prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk until smooth; dip warm doughnuts into glaze.

Sprinkle with cinnamon or additional powdered sugar if desired.
