Method
in a bowl combine all the dry ingredients including the flour, sugar, yeast, nutmeg, cayenne pepper and salt.
Pour in the lukewarm water about 1/4th cup at a time until the consistency of the batter is like really thick cake batter. The dough should be fairly elastic. Depending on your flour, you might use a whole cup of water, but add the water little by little so you don't end up adding too much.
Set the mixture aside allowing it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Once the donut mixture is almost double in size, heat up oil for deep frying up to about 350-355F.
Using an ice cream scoop, or your hands of you are so skilled, drop the batter into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan.
Once one side of the donuts are lightly browned, turn and continue to fry until the donuts are done. The whole frying process for each batch took about 5 minutes.
Drain donuts and serve warm with strawberry jam.
