Best way to keep biscuits? Southerners - can ya help me?!
My father says covered with saran wrap.
But I seem to recall that my grandmother left them in a bowl on the counter covered with a dish towel. 'Course, I haven't seen her since I was a little girl.....
So can ya help me here? I made a dozen but I can only eat three or four, and I wanna be able to eat them for a couple days.
Thanks all

My mother usually just leaves them out and covered with a towel or in ziploc containers. As long as you don't refrigerate them, they should be ok for awhile.
air tight mini container.........
possible with a piece of paper between container and container' cover.......
Your grandmother was doing it right. basically leaving it out in room tempature and keep it covered. Saran Wrap will work as well, but doen't necessarily need to be kept air tight. Both of my grandmothers used bisquit tins (round metal tins similair to what cookies or even the large popcorn tins came in) with the snap on lid, left on the kithcen counter. Would brush lightly with some melted butter or margarine before hand.
Grandma, Bless her heart, was right.
Place the biscuits in a (glass or metal, not plastic because plastic sweats) and cover the bowl with a large clean dish towel.
If you ever make a really large batch, you can put them in ziplock freezer bags and freeze them.
The frozen ones can be revived in the oven (350 degrees for about 4 minutes).
Biscuits will keep very well in the freezer for several weeks. Cooked biscuits freeze easily in a zip lock bag - just wait until they are completely cool before bagging and freezing.
You can actually make biscuit dough and freeze it, so making fresh biscuits just a few at a time is easy - just mix, roll and cut them, then wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap so the biscuits don't touch each other. Then place in a freezer bag with the air removed as much as possible. When you want some, defrost them on the pan you will use to bake and when defrosted, and room temp, bake at usual temperature, just check a little early as they can lose moisture in the freezer, esp if you see ice crystals in the bag.
I put mine in a big zipper bag on the counter.
