13/4 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup white chocolate chips

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.  Cut butter, using a pastry cutter or two knives, until mixture looks like crumbs. Stir in cranberries and white chocolate chips.  Stir in egg and half and half so that dough forms into a ball.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.  Knead lightly ten times.  Pat into an 8-inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet.  Cut into eight wedges, but do not separate.  Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
