 The best biscuits. Okay. That's Crystal Wilkinson, former Poet Laureate of Kentucky. And she created the most perfect biscuit recipe I've ever tried. And thanks to those flaky layers of dough and butter, I went on a journey through the foods of her upbringing and the Appalachian region of Kentucky. Crystal is the culinary mind behind Praise Song for the Kitchen Ghosts, stories and recipes from five generations of Black country cooks.
