OK ... fairly basic question about freezing mince pies ... who can help?

[LadyPenelope]

I've volunteered to make 2 dozen mince pies for a school thing. I'm going to be really busy at work next week, so need to do it at the weekend and freeze them.

What stage do I freeze them? What about defrosting?

Do I freeze after they are cooked or before?

Do I defrost and then they are OK to eat, or do they need to go in oven after defrosting.

Don't want to serve soggy, inedible efforts! If it works well, I'll freeze some more for Christmas!

TIA

I always cook and freeze.

and when defosted just warm in the oven.

I've had no complains, but don't like them myself from dh/mum

Thanks lizziemun

Anyone else? I won't be delivering them to school hot - so do I still need to warm them after defrosting?

don't have to warm them, just take them out the freezer with plenty of time to spare so they're at room temperature when they're ready to be eaten, rather than chilled.

Yes, cook and then freeze. That is what i always do.

Same as blametheparents. I haev shove mine in teh microwave and served them warm with ice cream / cream. yum.

Thanks all - 24 mince pies coming up ... (or maybe only 23 if they look too tasty... )
