I've a family event coming up on Sunday week. Using one of Delia's recipes I want to pre-prepare some sausage rolls for it and I see in Delia's sausage roll recipe she suggests "If you want to cook them later, store them uncooked in a freezer box and freeze until needed". About the defrosting - I'll be pretty busy Sunday morning, would it be alright to take them out of the freezer late Saturday evening? Could I bake from frozen? Or, should I just get up that hour earlier :). !!!
As always many thanks for your thoughts

Hello Kevin,
You have a couple of options here.
You can open-freeze the uncooked sausage rolls until solid, then store them in a rigid plastic container. Then on the day, cook them from frozen, allowing an extra 10 minutes’ cooking time for defrosting.
Or Delia’s preferred option now is to freeze the cooked, cooled sausage rolls in polythene boxes and remove a few at a time as and when you need them. Defrost them for an hour at room temperature and then warm them in a hot oven for 5 minutes.
Best wishes
Lindsey
