Scald milk and pour over the shortening. Add salt, sugar and nutmeg. Cool until lukewarm; add beaten egg and yeast, which has been softened in the warm water. Add enough flour to make a stiff dough. Knead thoroughly and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk. Fry in deep fat, which should be 360°. Cook about 2 1/2 minutes each. Makes about 3 dozen doughnuts.
