Home of the Scones

Merritt's Country Cafe on State Street. Gotta love the sign. I can't remember it looking any different. This cafe is home to many regulars, those in town for the horse racing season (except probably this year because of a lack of racing, but that's another story), and anyone who wants a bite to eat after a night on the town. Just a heads up on the scones - these are not the kind you have with tea.
These scones are more like elephant ears, or "fair scones." Sweet dough fried in oil and topped with butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, whipped cream and/or fruit.

  4. I'm salivating. The best things come in these plain packages.
