--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4 1/2  cups          flour -- white
   1      teaspoon      baking powder
   1 1/4  cups          sugar
     1/4  teaspoon      freshly grated nutmeg
   1      cup           fruit juice
   1      teaspoon      cinnamon
   1      teaspoon      kosher salt
   2                    egg
                        jam -- jelly or
                        powdered sugar -- sifted
     1/4  cup           vegetable oil
                        vegetable oil -- for deep-frying

Preparation:

Sift together flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat together till smooth eggs, oil, and fruit juice (raspberry juice is great, apple juice will do). Add to the flour mixture and stir to make a soft dough. Form dough into flat cakes (about 3 dozen). Place 1/2 tsp. of jelly (again, raspberry is wonderful, but any jelly or jam can be used) in the center of each and roll dough to cover jelly, forming a ball. Deep-fry balls in hot (380F) oil for 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar.
