If you've live in Utah for more than a few months, chances are that you've been introduced to the Utah Scone. It's not the same as the dry, biscuit-type English scone that you might get at a High Tea. Nope, this scone is popular throughout the West, and is a pillowy bit of fried dough served with honey butter.
You might know it as a Navajo Taco, or Indian Frybread, or just as a Scone. No matter what you call it, this little cafe in Layton is the best place to get one.
Sill's Cafe is a small, family-owned cafe that's been serving up delicious scones since 1957. It's located at 335 E. Gentile Street in Layton.
John Sill's recipe for Utah scones legendary. The egg dough is fried to perfection, creating a doughy, pillowy, tender treat. You can see why The Food Network named these the best scones in the state last year.
The scones come with honey butter, and you're going to want to slather yours all over with this sweet, buttery goodness.
Ready to try a scone? Better come hungry - these massive delicacies are as big as a dinner plate. Well, sometimes the edges even hang over the sides of the dinner plate ;-)
If you think you can handle a scone and breakfast, order The Boss - four strips of bacon, two eggs, hash browns and country gravy.
Visit Sill's Cafe from Monday through Thursday fro 5:00 am to 8:00 pm; Friday and Saturday from 5:00 am to 9:00 pm, Sunday 6:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Some might argue that Granny Annie's in Kaysville has the best scones...
Well, guess what? Annie Curry, owner of Granny Annie's, is the daughter of John Sill. This little gem at 286 N. 400 W., in Kaysville, serves up about 300 scones a day, using John's famous recipe.
Have you tried a scone at Sill's Cafe? Do you think it's the best, or would you nominate another Utah restaurant for Best Scone?
