What you need

• 500 g (4 cups) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
• 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg, freshly grated if possible
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Whisk the flour, sugar, nutmeg, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.

2. 2

   In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and the butter.

3. 3

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry one and work it with your hands into a firm, smooth dough, 3-4 min. A dent pressed in with a finger should slowly spring back. If it feels sticky, knead in a little more flour.

4. 4

   Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 min.

5. 5

   Dust the work surface with flour and roll the dough out to about 1 cm (1/2 in) thick.

6. 6

   Cut it into strips 1 cm wide with a knife or pizza wheel, then cut across into small cubes.

7. 7

   Toss the cubes with a little flour so they do not stick together.

8. 8

   Heat the oil in a deep pan to 170 °C (340 °F).

9. 9

   Fry the cubes in batches, stirring often so they colour evenly, until deep golden brown, 5-7 min per batch. They are still soft in the oil and crisp up as they cool.

10. 10

    Lift them out with a slotted spoon onto paper towels.

11. 11

    Let them cool completely, about 20 min, before serving. Store in an airtight container.
