I'm familiar with the mace from a nutmeg because nutmegs grow abundantly where I live. I had no idea mace could be used for baking though. It smells really nice. These Amish recipes are quite simple yet amazing. They usually combine something old with something new for overall delicious flavor.

I've never made these before, and after reading the recipe and comments, I definitely want to try baking these. They look yummy and I can easily see having a couple with a nice cup of tea and some strawberry or apricot jam. I don't think I've ever used mace in a recipe before so I think I'd opt for the substitutions other commenters have mentioned.

These look delicious! Breakfast is hard in our house with kids who never seem to want to take the time to eat. I am wondering if these can be made ahead and if they freeze well? Also, I've made the Amish Friendship Bread before-is this recipe similar in taste? The kids do eat that right up. I like the suggestion of using cinnamon instead of the mace.

Sorry, but, What is mace? what other thing I can use to sustitute it?

It's derived from nutmeg, so if you wanted to simply substitute a bit of ground nutmeg, that should suffice. You could also sub allspice or cinnamon for a similar flavor. Hope that helps! -Editor, RecipeLion

I don't usually use mace. I find that cardamom substitutes very well and tastes just so much better. So I'll be making these as soon as the oven will preheat.

I love these. I'm 60 and when I was in high school we made these in Home Ec. They were called French breakfast puffs then. Same recipe. I think sometimes they just put Amish in front of a recipe and pass it off as Amish..but that aside..they are great!

I think for a breakfast to start the day, these aren't very healthy, you may as well eat a piece of cake. I think they would serve better as a dessert.

You're probably right but look at it this way, if you're going to eat something sweet and not so healthy, breakfast would be the perfect time. Then you have the rest of the day to work it off.

I poured the batter evenly in all 12 cups of the pan to give a smaller, flatter portion. I serve this as a cake doughnut rather than a puff or muffin as the original recipe suggests.

sonybug, nutmeg is a little stronger in taste so 1/8th of a ts is plenty
