Freeziing uncooked mince pies

[blowninonabreeze]

I'm making 100 or so mince pies tonight to freeze uncooked and use over the next few weeks.

If anyone's done ths before, can I egg glaze before I freeze, or does it have tobe prior to cooking?

Thanks

I never egg wash them, just make and freeze and then when I go to cook them I egg wash or brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar
HTH

Thank you.
I'm sure my grandma used to freeze them cooked, but I love them freshly cooked.

i might do this
how do you do it eactly - sorry to be thick
i roll out pastry and fill in the little cupcake type tins.
do you just take them out raw pastry and all and freeze - wont they collapse??

I'm planning to assemble them in the tins, freeze them in the tin ( I have 3 silicon ones) and once frozen pop them out and into freezer bags.

When it comes to using them, defrost them in the tins and cook.

Fingers crossed

Good idea! Thanks for this
