Preheat oven to 400 and spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the first three ingredients. Cut in butter until coarse crumbs are formed.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sugar, lemon rind and egg. Add this to the flour mixture and stir until just blended. Knead in the bowl with your hands until mixture holds together. Press into an 8" circle on the baking sheet. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar. Cut to, but not all the way through, into 12 wedges.  Bake for 13 minutes or until golden.
