Wow! Big changes on this board since I've last logged on.

I just made a double batch of my Southern Buttermilk Biscuits, and I have to take them to a friend's for dinner tonight, but want to know the best way to warm them without drying them out. I just want them warm for the dinner.

Thanks,
Jovin
 
This is quite old fashioned, but my mom would sprinkle a bit of water - just a few drops into a lunch bag, put the biscuits in and close it up - heat it in the oven at about 300 for a few minutes. They tasted fresh as ever. I don't know where she got the idea.

Great idea, licia!!
 
My mother is a wizard when it comes to saving. There wasn't much she ever needed to toss out (not with 7 children)(or maybe she did need to toss out some of the children:LOL: )She had a very good head for saving and spending wisely.
 
JOVIN! Welcome back! Good luck with the biscuits! My method was just to spray some mist on a tea towel and then to wrap biscuits in that and warm them in the oven. Hope that helps.
 
hmmmmmm

Mom sprinkled the water in the bag - not much - after a few minutes of reheating they were wonderful.
 
What do you mean by "lunch bag"? I like that idea of adding some water to basically keep the moisture in so they wont dry out.
 
A paper bag like you may carry a lunch in. A tea towel was suggested also. I haven't tried that, but it should work if you watch it closely, and don't have the oven too hot.
 
Ok licia, thanks, I was thinking a plastic baggie that I use for sandwiches, and was wondering about putting that in the oven lol. Thanks, the paper bag will steam nicely at a low temp.

Amber, our lunch bags were bought at the grocery store, just a brown paper bag. My dad use to take a brown grocery bag, rub the outside with water and then take a loaf of day old french bread wet his hands and rub the crust, place in damp bag and put it in the oven til the bread crust got a little crispy and the inside of the bread was nice and warm..Really rescued a loafe of day or two old bread.:)

Oh, you funny young young ladies!!! You can tell what era I'm from - lunch bags are paper bags - sandwich bags are plastic!!!:)
 
Another way to heat them up is to place them on a plate, put them in the microwave, along with a small glass of water (in a microwave safe cup or glass, of course). Heat for around 20 to 30 seconds (more if needed, but don't heat too long). I have always gotten nice hot, fluffy biscuits this way. Another way to do them in the microwave is to put them in a dish and cover with a slightly damp towel or paper towel before microwaving (instead of the cup of water).

How about a damp towel and on a rack in a crock pot or slow cooker? Wouldn't that work?
