Suggestions on how to shrink swollen biscuits?

Microwace works for me.

I don't use a lot of biscuits but I buy them a 1000 at a time. I keep a few handy in zip lock bags and vacuum pack the rest.

I have that problem on occasion with the ones I have. I just hit em with a little sand paper and when they are snug put em in. They will swell more when the glue hits em

I keep mine in a plastic container, transferred from the box of 1000 they come in.

I don't ever remember having one swollen so big it wouldn't fit in the groove.

If I would happen to run across one, I'd just give it the File13 treatment

I never thought of any solution other than the microwave. 20 seconds, a minute later use them and put extras in ziplock. You might be right about it being an uneconomical way...it just always worked.

Use less baking powder?

I'll definitely give that a try next time!

Thanks for the tips everybody. Think I will try the microwave attack.

Kitty Litter....fresh in a sealed container is great storage and will even reverse the swelling.

[Ken Werner]

Depending on the season, I leave them atop my shop heater.
even if they haven't swelled, I sometimes hit them a few times with a hammer to make entry a bit easier.

Keep them in a sealed container mixed with cheap cat litter. It acts as a desiccant and will keep them from swelling virtually forever.

Put them on a cookie sheet in a freezer for a few days. Then put into plastic FREEZER bags, not storage bags. I also put them in storage bags on dash of truck, in the sun. Water vapor forms in bag, remove biscutts to another bag. Do this a couple of times, and they are dry again. Turn bags inside out to dry.

Penicillin?

How about a little Preparation H? It seems to shrink some other things! On second thought... maybe not.

After going thru the expanding process once which is what they are designed to do. I would not want to use them a second go around even if they did shrink from what ever process you use to reduce them in size. I put to much work in to creating a project to loose out on my project because some biscuit let go on me. I would be saying here hold my sign.
