1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
2. In another bowl, cream the sugar and butter, then beat in the eggs, milk, and vanilla.
3. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry to form a soft dough, then chill it for at least 1 hour.
4. Roll the dough out to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface and cut it into strips, twisting each one into a spiral or knot.
5. Heat the oil to 350 to 365°F and fry the croquignoles in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes, until deep golden and crisp.
