Cream the shortening; add sugar gradually. Add egg yolks and egg whites. Sift together flour, nutmeg, and baking powder; add alternately with milk to shortening mixture. Toss on floured board; roll thin and cut in pieces, 2 x 3 inches. Make 4 (1 inch) gashes at equal intervals. Take up by running finger in and out of gashes and lower into deep hot fat or oil.
