The next day, pour off the water and boil the remaining fiber.

Mix the boiled water with the separated fiber until smooth.

In a separate bowl, mix 1.5 cups of milk with 1 tablespoon of yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar, and let it sit for 20-30 minutes.

Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg to the milk mixture and mix until smooth.

Let the mixture rise in a warm place until it increases in size.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into hot oil to fry until golden brown.
