When is a biscuit not a biscuit?

When is a biscuit not a biscuit?  When it's a scone, of course! (Or, if you live in England, it's a cookie, but we're not doing that today. We're only comparing cultures on the Plains.)

What's the difference between a biscuit and a scone when you live in Oklahoma?  If it has blueberries in it and you drink tea with it, it's a scone. If it has gravy on top and you drink coffee with it, it's a biscuit.

Why am I talking about biscuits and scones in an outdoor blog? Because when you find small companies that are trying to do good, you should recognize them. Especially if they make the most delicious blueberry biscuit, I mean scone, in the world.

Immaculate Baking Company is a small, privately owned company that is starting to be famous. And of course, they will be famous after you read about them here.

I discovered their blueberry scones this week when Daughter #1 took me to a local organics food market and handed me a gift certificate. It doesn't get much better than your children buying your groceries. I have obviously done something right as a mother.

These scones come in a can like "whop 'em on the counter" biscuits; you know, where you peel back the wrapping on the can and press with a spoon, or in my case, smack the can on the edge of the counter and it explodes open, and you try to catch all the dough before it hits the floor.

They looked like biscuits- they were dough and they were round.  I always thought scones were kinda dry and triangular. Maybe it's just my cooking.
Bake, (I added a butter cream glaze), enjoy. Even Philoboy, who's not a big fan of sweets, sweet breads, or icing on his breakfast, made a huge dent in them. Huge dent as in he ate five out of the eight.

But delicious is not the whole story here. Nor is the fact they have an organic products line. Immaculate Baking Company operates a program whereby you can buy their products at a special price and hold a bakesale to raise money in partnership with Cookies for Kids' cancer, a non-profit organization raising money for pediatric cancer research.

And I haven't even mentioned yet the folk artists they support, but here's a hint- look at the artwork on the can of scones above. Check out their website, enjoy the artwork, and if you can find these in your area, try them!!

Good food doing good. Now that's delicious news!
