When it comes to enjoying biscuits, having them warm, soft, and fresh is an unparalleled experience. However, keeping biscuits moist after reheating can be a challenge. Whether they are leftovers from a big family dinner or a batch made ahead of time, here are the best ways to reheat biscuits to maintain that just-baked quality.

Oven Method:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Wrap the biscuits in foil – this will prevent them from drying out. Place the wrapped biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on the size and density of your biscuits. The foil helps trap the steam as they heat, which keeps them soft. Remove from oven and serve immediately for best results.

Toaster Oven Method:

Toaster ovens are an efficient way to reheat a smaller number of biscuits. Set the toaster oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Wrap your biscuits in foil and place them on the toaster oven’s baking tray. Heat for about 5-10 minutes depending on their size. Check if they are warm enough before removing them, as toaster ovens can vary in power.

Microwave Method:

The microwave can be used but should be a last resort as it’s easy to overdo it and make the biscuits tough or soggy. If using the microwave, lay a damp paper towel over the biscuits before heating them on high for 20-30 seconds. This will add moisture back into them and help maintain softness without becoming chewy.

Stovetop Method:

For those without an oven or wanting to save energy, the stovetop is an alternative method. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little bit of butter or oil to prevent sticking. Place the biscuits in the pan and cover with a lid so that they warm evenly for about 2 minutes per side.

Steam Method:

If you own a steamer basket or rice cooker with a steaming function, you can steam biscuits back to warmth and softness. Fill the steamer with water according to its instructions and place biscuits inside without letting them touch water. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes until thoroughly heated.

Final Tips:

Avoid reheating biscuits multiple times as they will inevitably dry out.

Always watch closely while reheating to avoid overcooking.

If the biscuits have gone stale, sprinkle them with a little water before heating; this can help revive them.

Adding a pat of butter after reheating can also enhance flavor and prevent dryness.

By following these simple methods, you’ll enjoy soft, warm and fresh-tasting biscuits anytime without losing out on quality due to reheating.
