Parmesan-Black Pepper Scones

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
• 2/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in cheese.
3. Combine buttermilk and egg in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 5 times with floured hands. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut dough into 8 wedges, cutting into, but not through, dough. Coat lightly with cooking spray.
