Freezing scone mixture?

I use scone mixture as a base for pizza for my children but sometimes don't have the time to cook from scratch does anyone know if you can freeze scone mixture?

Thanks you two. My son was here yesterday and I made some cheese scones. We were debating whether he could refridgerate/freeze the mix and cook them as he goes during the week so he always has a fresh batch. Now I know he can I will make him a batch next time I go over.

why dont you just make the scones and then freeze them the same day and then take it out of freezer as you want it and zap in mircowave 30 secs at a time, my mum makes them for me and i bring them home and do that .

If they are ready made scones, and you need to defrost them, cut them in half with a sharpe knife, and toast them, serve with loads of butter, yum!!!!!

My son doesn't have the space to freeze the cooked scones so freezing the mixture is his best option.

Why not teach him how to make his own? Then he can have them fresh any time he likes and isn't using up any freezer space.

if squeaky's excellent suggestion seems too drastic to begin with ... as a halfway measure you could make up a mix of the basic dry ingredients, store it in an airtight container or bag, then when he wants fresh scones all he needs to do is add liquid, & any extra ingredients for variations

Absolutely. It was actually him that asked me if the mixture could be frozen so that he could make it himself. I was just going to take him a batch to start him off coz that's what mums do. He doesn't get a great deal of time so if he could make a mix every week or so, it would help him out timewise.

I think the best option would actually be to start the mix as Swan has suggested and make it as he goes along.

He is well into cooking since moving into his own flat. He rarely uses convenience foods and is building up quite a repetoire of meals.

Oh right

Sounds good
