Ingredients

  • 1 cup rye flour
  • 1/2 cup dark molasses or treacle
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the rye flour, dark molasses, and brown sugar. Mix well.

Add Water and Spices

In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Gradually pour the hot water into the flour mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Stir in the ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.

Cook the Mixture

Pour the mixture into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan (about 10-15 minutes).

Bake

Preheat your oven to 300째F (150째C).

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish or ovenproof dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until set and firm.

Cool and Serve

Allow the M채mmi to cool completely before serving. It is traditionally served cold.

Enjoy your meal!
