In a large bowl, mix flour, nutmeg, and salt.

Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter to the dry ingredients.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Cut out donuts using a round cutter and let them rest for 30 minutes.

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

Fry donuts in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove donuts from oil and drain on paper towels.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
