Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) with the rack positioned in the middle.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
- Cut cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine crumbs with small pea-sized pieces.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and orange zest until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula.
- Gently fold in the cranberries until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shaping it into a circle about 1.5 inches thick.
- Score the surface of the dough into 8 wedges without cutting all the way through.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool on a rack for 10 minutes and prepare the icing by whisking powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth.
- Drizzle the orange icing over the cooled scones and serve warm.

Notes
Ensure the butter is very cold for a flaky texture. Adjust icing thickness as desired. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
