Can u Freeze Scones?

Jo4

I was wondering whether it is possible to freeze home made scones, pancakes and cakes? I know it is a silly question because apparently you can freeze the ones you buy in the shop but I thought home made ones would be different. SORRY for asking a silly question but I would appreciate an answer. Thanks

As far as I know you can freeze them and with pancakes I put them in the toaster rather than wait for them to defrost.

I freeze my homemade pancakes (always end up making too many) and they freeze really well.

I might break my freezer if I attempted to freeze my scones - even the birds won't eat them!

Thanks for responding! So you can definitely freeze pancakes, possibly scones and what about cakes?

I freeze cakes scones etc all the time only two of us at home so half a victoria sandwich half a batch of scones etc goes in the freezer.
I would not keep them much longer than 3 months.
A good tip if you make a fatless sponge freeze that sandwiched together with the whipped cream/ filling divide into portions when just thawing out less likely to make a squidgy mess.
Good luck

I make larges batches of scones at a time. To give them that just baked taste pop them into a hot oven for a few minutes after they've defrosted.

THANKS for responding! There is only 2 of us as well, that is why I was wondering whether I could freeze them or not. They would be lucky to last a month in our house never mind 3! Will the whipped cream freeze and thaw alright?

Thanks! Where I used to work, the cook would take the scones off the shelf that she had cooked the previous day that did not sell. She would then heat them in the oven with the fresh ones she had just made. She then put them all on the shelf together and no one ever seemed to know the difference!

I freeze scones, pancakes, crumpets, muffins, croissants... You seem to be able to freeze most baked goods. In fact there is very little you can't freeze. Even eggs if you can be bothered to split them into yolks and whites (I can't) And salad stuff of course. I think it's the higher the water content, the less likely you can freeze it!

Yes I cannot remember which double or whipping but it says on the carton.
I have been known to freeze blobs of cream if I have bought 'a woops' with short sellby date and get them out one by one.
also I freeze crumble mix, do a batch and pack ready to put on in case the offspring turn up to be fed. Trouble is I have a very bad habit of not labeling anything!!!!!!!!!
