To be sure, traditional English cooking does not necessarily bring to mind the word "��gourmet"��. Bangers and mash, a Ploughman"��s Lunch, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and fried fish and chips are filling, tried-and-true favourites, but are not the delicate cuisine of a gourmet menu and as such, are justly subjected to good-natured ribbing. However, traditional English cooking can make a few claims to classy comestibles, not the least of which is the high tea staple of a proper English scone. Originating in Scotland and moving firmly into the English parlor, the scone was conventionally served as a tea time biscuit. Mildly sweet and more delicate than plain bread or biscuits, the scone"��s popularity has not waned with time.

Having traveled across the pond and onto American breakfast and brunch tables, the traditional English scone has undergone a few changes and additions. One Spokane-based company has tweaked their scone recipe to produce a new world favourite: the chocolate chip scone. Sticky Fingers Bakeries is a maker of quick and easy premium scone, muffin, bread and brownie mixes. Made with all-natural ingredients, including real fruits, vegetables and chocolate, Sticky Fingers Bakeries"�� products make it simple to enjoy scrumptious fresh-baked treats at home without the hassle of starting from scratch. Their chocolate chip scone mix makes it easy for a chocolate lover to sneak a hint of sinful chocolate onto the breakfast table inside the crumbly, sweet texture of a scone.

Sticky Fingers Bakeries has proudly been making and distributing their scone mixes since 1987. They add no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives to their mixes, allowing the taste of the all-natural ingredients to shine through.

Chocolate chip scones have proved to be a favorite of many of their customers, but a baker"��s work is never done. They happily continue to develop and offer their client base cleverly flavored scone mixes, even inventing a few that are available only during the holiday season. Besides warm, sweet scones studded with melted, semi-sweet chocolate, home bakers can surprise their friends and family with new creation, such as pumpkin spice scones, spiced eggnog scones and peppermint chocolate chip scones.
