How to Reheat Frozen Biscuits | The Step by Step Guide
I assume you have a pack of frozen biscuits, but they’ve frozen together in a big block of goodness. So, how do you defrost them safely? You can reheat frozen biscuits using an oven, a microwave, or a stove.
You love eating biscuits. After eating one, you feel that eating another is not a good idea and decide to put it in the fridge. But what to do with that biscuit? Make it reheat! While chilling, your biscuit finds itself cold, lonely, and forgotten.
Anyone who has dealt with a box of frozen biscuits knows the struggle. Sure, you can microwave them briefly, but that’s heating the packaging, not the biscuit itself. So it’s about time we learned how to reheat frozen biscuits properly. Don’t worry! I’m here to help, pal.

Method 1 (REHEAT FROZEN BISCUITS WITH OVEN)
This is how we like to reheat biscuits the most. You will be able to eat your delicious biscuits in less than 10 minutes.
- Step 1: Turn on your oven and wait till it’s at 350 degrees.
- Step 2: Put foil or parchment paper on a baking pan. You should also ensure that biscuits have enough space and are not touching.
- Step 3: The biscuits should bake for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Step 4: Take the biscuit out of the oven and enjoy. I love my biscuits with butter, so you can try that if you are interested.
Method 2 (REHEAT FROZEN BISCUITS WITH MICROWAVE)
This method is for you if you are very short on time and want to have some of your favorite biscuits. It includes microwaving the biscuit to save time. However, you should be aware that the texture won’t be precisely the same and that the biscuits can dry out slightly.
- Step 1: Wrap each biscuit with a damp paper towel to help keep them moist.
- Step 2: Put the biscuits on a dish that is microwave safe. Check the bottom of the dish to be sure it is microwave safe.
- Step 3: Set the microwave to medium or high and set the timer for 20 seconds.
- Step 4: Once heated through, check the biscuits and microwave for a further 10 seconds or so.
Method 3 (REHEAT FROZEN BISCUITS WITH STOVE)
Although this method is not common, it’s a good one. All you need is a frying pan, foil, and butter.
- Step 1: Put the pan on the burner and heat it to a warm temperature. This will maintain the biscuits’ sensitivity inside and crisp outside.
- Step 2: Place the biscuits in the pan after wrapping each one in foil. Although you won’t need foil using a non-stick pan, you’ll still need to check the biscuits to ensure they don’t burn carefully. Before covering the biscuits in foil, spread melted butter on their tops for an added taste boost.
- Step 3: Turn the heat to low and put a lid on the pan.
- Step 4: After heating the biscuits for about 30 seconds, turn them over. Repetition will ensure that the biscuits are well-warmed after reheating for a minute or two.
Don’t leave just yet! Let’s quickly look at how to freeze a biscuit.
How do you freeze a biscuit?
Biscuits may be kept for up to 3 months in the freezer, which is a great method to extend their shelf life. Use one of two easy techniques to freeze your biscuits:
Method 1 (Freezer-safe bags and plastic wrap)
- Step 1: Wrap plastic wrap securely and completely around each biscuit. In actuality, you cannot bundle them since frozen biscuits can readily break apart when they are near one another.
Additionally, it will be simpler for you to remove the number of biscuits you need for the following baking sessions.
- Step 2: Put the wrapped cookies in freezer-safe bags to keep them fresh for up to three months.
Method 2 (Parchment paper and airtight containers)
- Step 1: First is to line the airtight containers with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Arrange several biscuits on top of the paper. Make sure you space them by approximately an inch.
- Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 by spreading a layer of biscuits over a sheet of parchment paper
- Step 4: Put the container in the freezer after covering it with its lid.
Other ways to store biscuits
Most people prefer to make biscuits in bulk so they can have them whenever they need them. However, they do tend to dry out if stored improperly. Here are some tips to help you store biscuits properly:
1. Keep biscuits in an airtight container.
It would help if you kept biscuits in an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent the spread of bacteria. Airtight containers are also important because they allow for proper moisture levels to be maintained. Do not repeatedly open the bag or container. This will significantly affect how long your biscuits stay fresh.
2. Keep it in the cupboard
You can store biscuits in the cupboard for up to five days. Use the proper jar to store the biscuits. You can use a freezer bag that can be sealed or an airtight container.
Make sure the cabinet is dry and cold. The biscuits’ degrading process will accelerate if they are kept in a humidified cabinet. The biscuits could even deteriorate before you can reheat them as a result.
3. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Do not store biscuits under direct sunlight or near other foods that may contaminate them with bacteria or mold. The ideal temperature for storing biscuits is between 40°F and 70°F (5°C and 20°C).
If you live in a warm climate where there is no need for air conditioning during the summer months, it is best to store your biscuits at room temperature rather than in the refrigerator; this will prevent condensation from forming on top of the biscuits, which would make them soggy or moldy over time if left out overnight on their own without refrigeration.
