Once slightly cooled, add 4 eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition.

Transfer the batter to a piping bag.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Pipe the dough into 4-inch pieces into the hot oil, turning them to brown evenly.

Fry until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.

Mix together 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of fresh grated nutmeg.

Toss the warm churros in the sugar mixture.
