Just looking at making home made pork pies again, and I can't help but think that the techniques lend themselves much more sensibly to making a dozen or more pies than they do to making what a family might eat.

I'd like an opinion from someone who does make their own.

I think you are right Jema, by the time you have fiddled around with the hot water pastry and done the shaping, you may as well have done a dozen and frozen some for a rainy day.

So they do freeze? I sort of thought that they would not freeze well.

Like everything, thery are better left fresh, and not frozen at all, but they can be frozen. The pastry goes slightly cracky or more fragile, but if you need to prepare in advance it is possible.
