Freezing Ham Puffs

Can the ham or cheese puffs be frozen to be eaten at another time? Or would they become soggy? --Pat
Hi Pat, Yes, absolutely, you can freeze the unfilled puffs from my Deviled Ham Puffs recipe. Just let the baked puffs cool, then place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to a month or two. Once they’ve thawed, you can “refresh” them in a hot oven for a couple of minutes if you think they need crisping up, then cut off the tops and fill with your favorite filling.

  • Question
    Grandma, I am a grandma too, but I do have a question about sour cream in general. I really do not like it at all, not the taste, not the smell, or not in recipes. (Because I can usually taste it.) Is there a substitute ingredient that I can use that would give my finished dish a good outcome — or what are my options besides just giving up and pick another dish to make?

    How do you make old-timey rolled dumplings? My mother-in-law made the best; she had a special bowl she mixed them up in (never really measuring), she knew where in the bowl to add the flour, etc., then she rolled them out thin on a brown grocery bag and let dry for a while, then dropped them in the hot broth. They were delicious!!!!!!
