Fit hash browns into greased 10″ pie plate, forming a solid crust. Brush crust with melted butter, making certain to brush top edges.

2 ¼ cup flour
1 stick butter
2/3 cup milk
1 Tbs. baking powder
¼ cup sugar
dash of salt
Raisins ad lib (approx. ¼ cup)
2 Tbs. orange zest
Mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut the butter into the mixture and then add the milk and mix until just moistened. Add raisins and orange zest.
Place on a greased cookie sheet or pizza pan in the shape of a round disk. Using a knife, pre-cut the scones into pie-shaped wedges. This makes it easier to cut them once they’re baked. Bake in the oven at either 400 degrees for 10 minutes, or
at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
You’ll know they’re finished when the edges are lightly browned.
