Spice
Ground Mace
Ground mace is powdered dried aril for even distribution in batters, doughs, and dry spice mixes. It is convenient but loses top notes faster than blades—buy small jars and refresh often. Colour is warm orange-tan; flavour should smell bright, not dusty. Sift into flour blends. Use slightly less than nutmeg when substituting in recipes that call for a lighter spice line.
