Collected from the Native knowledge of my home state, Utah loves fry bread. Although, in Utah, we have learned to call them scones. If you haven't had an infamous 'Utah Scone' you sure are missing out on one of the most versatile and simple morsel.
For the longest time, I didn't know that there could be any other type of scone. I became a server at a small café and after serving a couple from out of state I learned very quickly after dropping off their plate with a scone the size of their head on it, and with freshly whipped honey butter. That in other states, in most of the world. This wonderful little treat is just a simple frybread.

After creating this wonderful treat. It can be made even better. Whip up some honey and butter. Put some jam or jelly on it. My personal favorite..
Smother it with chili, lettuce, olives, onions, and some salsa with guacamole. In Utah we call that a Navajo Taco. If you ever visit and see one on a menu, you'll know to try it.
