Yes, you can store scones in a tin container in the fridge, especially if they are best kept cold. The tin container will help protect the scones and prevent them from drying out in the refrigerator.
When storing scones in the fridge, it's essential to follow a few guidelines to maintain their freshness:
Allow the scones to cool completely before storing them in the tin container. Storing warm or hot scones can create condensation inside the container, which may lead to sogginess.
Place the scones in a single layer inside the tin container to avoid squishing or damaging them.
If you need to stack the scones, separate the layers with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking.
Close the tin container tightly to keep the scones fresh and to prevent any odors from other foods in the fridge from affecting the scones.
Label the tin container with the date to keep track of how long the scones have been in the fridge.
Scones can generally be stored in the fridge for a few days, but for longer storage, consider freezing them instead. When freezing, wrap the scones individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place them in a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag. Frozen scones can stay fresh for up to 1 to 2 months.
When you want to eat the refrigerated or frozen scones, allow them to come to room temperature or warm them in the oven to enjoy them at their best.
