Freezing Scones. The Experiment!

Freezing Scones. The Experiment! What happened when I froze prepared scones before baking and then baked them from frozen.

Does this beautiful scone look familiar? Regular readers will recognize it as a very popular recipe from last month.

I actually made this batch of beautiful scones a full 4 weeks ago!

When I first made this batch I thought the result was excellent. However, I had to admit that they did take a bit of effort to accomplish.

That’s because of the necessity to bake and freeze the cheesecake component a day in advance.

With all that effort going in, I thought it was a bit of a shame that their enjoyment would be so fleeting.

I decided to experiment with freezing half the batch to bake later. Boy, was I glad I did!

Putting the scones to the test.

I woke early this morning and placed the scones on  a parchment lined baking sheet and let them thaw for about 30 minutes. 

Then I popped them into a 400 degree hot oven for about 25 minutes. I also think letting them thaw in the fridge overnight would also work very well.

The result of this little experiment was outstanding!

I don’t know that I would be able to tell the difference between a freshly made batch and those baked from frozen.

From now on I will be routinely freezing scones and maybe making double batches to enjoy several weeks down the road.

Freezing Scones for planning.

So if you are trying to plan a brunch in advance this is an excellent way to get ahead! Maybe you just need just a few for your small family or yourself. This is also a great solution.

Maybe you don’t have an occasion planned. Maybe you just would like to have fresh scones for weeks with practically no extra effort.

If you want to enjoy a few every weekend for several weeks, this idea will be right up your alley.  

Heck, forget weekends, I think these would make Monday mornings much more tolerable! 🙂
