Preheat oven to 375.

Score it into 8 wedges without cutting through.
Beat the egg white slightly and brush over the dough.
Sprinkle with the sugar and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool for 5 minutes, cut into scones and serve warm; or cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
