Ingredients

2-1/4 cups flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. sugar, divided
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg
3/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. half-and-half, divided

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°F.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt and 1/4 cup sugar in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Whisk egg and 3/4 cup half-and-half until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Shape into ball.
Knead dough on lightly floured surface 10 times. Roll out to 12x6-inch rectangle. Cut into 8 (3-inch) squares, then cut each square diagonally in half.
Place, 2 inches apart, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Brush triangles with remaining half-and-half; sprinkle with remaining sugar.
Bake 14 to 16 min. or until scones are lightly browned. Cool slightly.
