1 3/4 c. flour
3 tbsp. sugar
2 1/3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. grated orange peel
1/3 c. sweet butter
1/2 c. raisins
1 egg, slightly beaten
4-6 tbsp. half and half

ORANGE BUTTER:

1/3 c. sweet butter, softened
2 tbsp. orange marmalade

Heat oven to 400 degrees. In medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and orange peel. Cut 1/3 cup butter into flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Stir in raisins, 1 egg and just enough half and half so dough leaves sides of bowl. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 8-10 times. Roll into 9 inch circles and cut into 12 wedges. Place on cookie sheet and brush with beaten egg. Bake 10-12 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve with orange butter (combined sweet butter and marmalade).
