In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small balls.

Let the dough balls rest for a few minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

Fry the dough balls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the buns and drain on paper towels.
