Set out two large baking sheets. Line one with paper towels and the other with a wire rack. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add the egg and sour cream and continue mixing until combined.

Slowly alternate adding a small amount of the flour mixture and a small amount of the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Fold the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently fold the dough several times to coat it in flour.

Roll out the dough into an 8x12-inch rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, slice it into 12 sections, each about 2 inches by 4 inches. Cut slits on the tops of each dough section.

In a deep frying pot over medium heat, add 4 cups of oil. Heat the oil to 370°F. While heating, prepare the glaze.
