Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and orange peel. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Stir in cranberries, 1 beaten egg and just enough half-and-half to enable dough to form into a ball.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 10 times. Roll or press dough into a 9-inch circle; cut into 10 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Brush with remaining beaten egg.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from sheet immediately. Serve warm.
