Can I freeze blind baked pastry?

devon_guy

So I'm thinking to save time, of making my pastry cases, blind baking them and then freezing them. Can I do this or is it best to roll out the pastry and freeze it raw?

Nobody going to help me?

just roll the pastry out line your tins and freeze then bake bake blind when needed hope that helps :beer:

I would say either way is fine.

Hi, yes, I've frozen pastry cases both raw & blind-baked. Both ways work fine. Useful way of getting ahead of yourself if you've got a buffet or party to cater for as v easy to get them out of freezer & just bung a quiche filling together or whatever to fill.

Do you need to defrost a baked blind case first ?

bltchef

no just place your filling in and bake it will be fine

I freeze the raw ball of pastry all the time. Just defrost overnight and then roll out and cook as normal.

Thanks for the advice. I blind baked 3 cases last night and wrapped them in cling film and popped them in the freezer.
