Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut cold unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, orange zest, and pure vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the fresh cranberries.
  6. Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a circle about 1.5 inches thick. Score the top into 8 wedges.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Prepare the orange icing by whisking powdered sugar with orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over the scones.
