In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and thick. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the egg and sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not over mix.
Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour to firm it up.
Once chilled, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Use a doughnut cutter to cut out the donuts. Re-roll scraps as needed.
In a large heavy-bottomed pan, pour the remaining 4 cups of vegetable oil and heat it to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Carefully drop 2 to 3 donuts at a time into the hot oil. Fry them for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
Once slightly cooled, dust the donuts with powdered sugar if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Dairy-Free Old Fashioned Donuts!
