I have been making these for about 40 years. During all of those years, I'm still wondering about the freezing part of this recipe. Since my recipe card never explained (other than ~ can freeze) the freezing part is still a question. Can you freeze them after making them and, before frying? There's my question. I want to make these for Thanksgiving and, this would be a timely puzzle to resolve. Thanks
