1/3 c. sugar

2 tsp. baking powder
Sprinkle of nutmeg (optional)

Sift flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and sugar together. Then break in eggs. Mix in shortening and milk. Roll a bit thicker than pie crust. Make squares. Cut strips about 1/2 inch wide lengthwise to within 3/4 inch of the edge of square. To tangle, pick up dough by every other strip and give a slight twist. Fry in deep fat until brown. Drain and sprinkle with sugar.
