Half and half is used in scone recipes to give a lightness of crumb and additional richness, both which are induced by the high fat levels in half-and-half (since it's half milk, half double cream).
Milk (particularly whole milk) would be a better replacement for half and half in a scone recipe than buttermilk. Buttermilk is very much like plain yogurt; when it's used in recipes which do not require a slight acidity, the resulting baked good will have a peculiar taste. (It's great in recipes which use bicarbonate of soda as the only raising agent, as buttermilk reacts to neutralise it and give extra lift. But this is not the leavening process used in scones).
Half and half (being half milk, half double cream) does not have anywhere near the same acidity as plain yogurt or buttermilk, making whole milk a better option (correct taste and higher fat content than buttermilk, making it more "similar" to half and half).

I found a recipe for blueberry scones but no flour listed The recipe calls for threequarters cup of butter and one and half cups half and half How much flour do I need In cups if you can?
I think you may need to do a little experimenting to find out for sure; if you add all the ingredients with one and a half cups of flour, then see how much more flour you need to add (if any) to acheive a smooth scone dough. I'm guessing it will be between 2 and 2 1/2 cups.

How much half and half do you use to replace milk?
I just had a recipe that I substituted half and half for milk (because I ran out of milk) and I used the same exact that was called for regular milk and my recipe came out perfect. I'm sure if you are making a custard, cream type dessert you will probably be able to tell the difference, but I made apple cinnamon bread and it was fine.

Can you substitute milk for half and half?
It really depends on the recipe and the needed consistency. In most cases, half&half or even whole milk can be substituted for light cream to make a recipe healthier. If the recipe calls for heavy cream, it's really a judgment call. You might try a halved recipe with half&half to test before making a full batch. Substituting half&half or milk in a recipe calling for sweet (whipping) cream is generally NOT recommended.
