Croquignoles

• 3 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• vegetable oil, for deep-frying
• powdered sugar, for dusting

1. Combine the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
2. In another bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy.
3. Add the sugar and whisk to dissolve.
4. Add the butter and vanilla and continue to whisk for 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Add the flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time, blending together until a stiff dough forms.
6. Lightly flour a work surface and sprinkle the dough with a little flour.
7. Pat the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.
8. Using a pastry wheel or a sharp knife, cut out about 12 diamond-shape pieces.
9. Make a slit lengthwise through the center of each diamond.
10. Heat the oil to 360u0b0F. in a deep-fryer or deep saucepan.
11. Deep-fry the diamonds, two to three at a time, turning them around with a slotted spoon, until they are golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
12. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
