Mamoul (Kaek) Spice
Ma'amoul and Kaek Spice Mix is the warm, aromatic blend used in traditional Middle Eastern butter cookies. It smells sweet and floral rather than savoury, aniseed and rose over a base of cinnamon and clove, and it is designed for semolina doughs and their fillings.
The mix combines aniseed, fennel, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, mahlab, green cardamom and rose petals, each chosen to create depth and harmony. Together they give pastries a fragrant, comforting character with a touch of floral charm.
How to use it
It is traditionally used in festive baking for Eid, Easter and other special occasions, and it suits ma'amoul, kaek and any delicate dessert calling for warm, spiced undertones. Use about two teaspoons per 500g of semolina. The technique tip: rub the spice into the melted butter or ghee before it meets the semolina, and let the dough rest overnight as ma'amoul dough traditionally does. The long rest lets the semolina swell and the aniseed and mahlab spread evenly, which is why rested dough bakes up more fragrant than dough made and shaped the same hour.
