How to Reheat Biscuits – 4 Effective Ways to Reheat Biscuits at Home

Freshly baked biscuits are the best – but it’s impossible to make a fresh batch every single time you feel like eating these delicious goodies. What you can do, therefore, is to make a large batch of biscuits and simply reheat them.

In this post, I will show you 4 simple tricks on how to reheat biscuits. By using the methods I’m about to tell you, you will get to enjoy previously made biscuits as if they’re freshly baked.

How to Store Freshly Baked Biscuits

The process of storing freshly baked biscuits is extremely important if you want to ensure successful reheating when it’s time to eat the biscuits again. Remember, you are not only after the taste, you also want to make sure that the biscuits will stay fresh while in storage

Basically, you can store biscuits in 3 ways:

Below, I will explain each one further.

Storing biscuits in the freezer is the best way to keep them fresh. When kept at freezing point, they can stay in a state of freshness for an indefinite period of time. So, it is safe to say that you can keep them in the freezer for about 2 to 3 months without going bad.

Since biscuits are quite fragile, they can break when not properly stored in the freezer. In order to avoid this, wrap each individual piece in aluminum foil before putting them in freezer bags or freezer-safe containers. This way, the pieces will be easier to separate when it’s time to reheat them.

Storing Biscuits in the Refrigerator

The next best way of storing freshly baked biscuits is in the refrigerator. Although not maintained at their freezing point, the cold atmosphere in the fridge will keep biscuits fresh for about a week.

To retain the quality of the biscuits, it’s recommended that they’re placed in airtight containers. Doing this will also keep the biscuits from absorbing the smell of other foods in the refrigerator. If possible, you can also wrap them individually in tin foils.

Storing Biscuits in the Cupboard or Pantry

As long as you keep freshly baked biscuits in airtight containers, they will remain fresh for some time. Exposure to moisture and humidity will lead to early spoilage, but keeping them in a dry place with cool temperature will extend their life.

To avoid exposure to air, refrain from opening the containers frequently. It is, therefore, practical to keep serving size portions in containers so as not to expose the whole batch to air penetration. If you want, you can also individually wrap the biscuits in aluminum foil.

Still, storing freshly baked biscuits in the cupboard or pantry is the least effective way to keeping them fresh for a long time. The biscuits can spoil in just 3 days if kept this way. Perhaps, the only advantage to storing them this way is that you don’t even have to reheat them in the first couple days.

If you have stored freshly baked biscuits in your cupboard or pantry, make sure that you consume these immediately as they will not stay fresh for very long. Since the biscuits are not cold, they can be eaten as is. However, if you still want to reheat them, you can (especially if they have been stored for more than 2 days already).

As you can see, biscuits don’t really need to be freshly made in order for you to enjoy them. You can prepare them in large batches, in advance, so that you can simply reheat them when needed.

In the methods I just showed you, you will be able to reheat them in just a few minutes, using a few simple steps. And yes, they will taste like they’re freshly made – no one needs to know that they’re a few days old (or even months old, if stored in the freezer) – it will be our little secret.
