Hi, just wondering if this can be frozen. Doesn’t seem to say so here but thought I saw that you froze some on Facebook
Thanks
Hi i would make it and freeze at the dough stage then you’ve just got to defrost and roll out 😊
I’ve only just seen this question, so probably a bit late. But my Mum used to make tattie scones, cooked them and then froze them. They keep for ages in the freezer. We defrosted them and then fried them when needed
making these for the first time this morning, always had them as a kid as my dad always made them, this has bought back memories, I hope they taste as I remember!
Wow!Just made these and they are lush!
