I am quickly starting to realize that this bucket list revolves mostly around food. Which is totally fine by me. Food brings everyone together! We're knee deep in a kitchen reno, as well as having painters paint almost our entire house. Have any of y'all lived through something like that?? It never goes as planned and always takes entirely too long. And I mean, it's only been a week and a half, and I'm about to lose it. Luckily we're in the home stretch and I can not wait to unpack my kitchen! It's going to be a dreamy farmhouse kitchen and I can not wait to share photos with all of you! With that said, there's almost no way of actually using our kitchen right now, I've eaten at Chick-fil-a one too many times over the last few weeks y'all...BUT I did have the amazing opportunity of getting some of my best girls together to take a really fun baking class last week! It was so fun to step away from moving and kids and renovations and have treats and drinks and learn to make from scratch biscuits from my girl Dani of Homemade Hostess! She is instinctually hospitable and has an incredibly natural and effortless talent at baking. I love biscuits. It's kind of unhealthy, the love I have for biscuits, really all breakfast foods in general. I would eat breakfast for every meal and never get tired of it. Luckily you can make these and have them with any meal, they go with everything! We each made our own variations and took them home to freeze to make whenever we wanted! Unfortunately we baked them and ate them all before I could snap a photo, they were that good! Did you know you could put jam IN your dough before you bake them?!? I seriously had NO idea and it blew my mind. Haha, this is probably common knowledge, but it was news to me and I can't wait to recreate this recipe again at home. Here's a few of my favorite moments from the class! Here's Dani's recipe -
2 cups Flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoons salt 4 tablespoons butter 1 cup buttermilk Here's where the fun begins - we added rosemary, as much or as little as we wanted. After we made the dough and rolled it out once, we added whatever kind of jam we liked on top, I added a light layer of strawberry preserves, but for next time I'll add more! Then just fold the dough and roll it flat again and use cookie cutters to make your biscuits! Bake at 450 for about 15 minutes, depending on your oven, until lightly brown. We had a blast and I feel way more confident in the kitchen! Yay baby steps! Make sure to follow Dani on Instagram and if you make these biscuits, let me know how they turn out! Or just bring them over and let me eat them with you! -K

Love this!! I had no idea about the jam either, so you're not alone! Literally never heard of that before. Was it still jam-y after they were baked? And what about the butter in the recipe-- is it softened butter or hard butter that's been cut? I wanna make some and I neeeeed to know!
