Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and yeast.
2. Heat the milk and water separately in separate saucepans.
3. Once the milk and water have been brought to a simmer, remove them from the heat and mix them in with the flour and yeast.
4. Add the butter, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and ground nutmeg to the bowl and mix everything together until a dough forms.
5. Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
6. Once the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 3-5 minutes.
7. Cut the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into balls.
8. Heat the oil in a deep pan or deep fryer until it reaches 180°C.
9. Carefully place the dough balls into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes, flipping them once halfway through frying.
