Freezing Dumplings?????

Hi all!

I just wondered if you could freeze dumplings? I wanted to make them and freeze them prior to cooking. Does anyone know if I can do this without poisoning anyone?

Thanks!

I don't think for one minute that you'll poison anyone I don't think they'll taste as good as freshly made, though, but there's no reason why they won't freeze once you've cooked them.

For me, dumplings are one of those really quick things to russle up, so I'd cook fresh every time.

Just a quick one that I hope you good people can answer for me.....

I'm making some dumplings for dinner tonight and wondered if I made more than I need, can I freeze the excess so that in the future I can just get them out of the freezer and bung them in the oven?

Just thought this may be time saving but obviously wouldn't be moneysaving if they develop an odd texture in the freezer! Have never frozen anything containing suet before.
Thanks x

going by google they can be frozen uncooked yes but i would just make them when i wanted them. only takes a couple of mins to make them.

enjoy your meal! made me think of apple suet pudding now lol

May try freezing them uncooked as an experiment then!
Thank you.

I freeze them uncooked, i have those rubber cake cases and i freeze them in there so they stay roundish and don't stick together. Befoire i had these i used to freeze them in the yorkshire pudding tin.

once they are frozed solid i take them out the cases and put them all in a bag. Then i just throw them in the stew as normal, they take a while longer to cook and they taste the same to me.

Update - some are sitting in the freezer ready for the next stew that requires them!!!

I buy a box of suet and a bag of flour in the correct 1:2 ratio in the first instance, then chuck them both into a tupperware box with a big pinch of salt and jiggle it about. When I want to do dumplings I just jiggle the box about and spoon out just how much I need.

I have made too many dumplings.

Those that are not cooked are currently in the frideg. How long will they keep and how do I store them?

Can they be frozen?

Thanks

Well Aunt Bessie has frozen dumplings.

yes you can freeze them - but allow more time for them to cook. I would say at least 30 to 35 mins. I always leave mine in the stew for an hour or so tho - I do like them to soak up the flavours!
