Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix!
  • Gently fold in the cranberries. Distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour). Gently pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges or rounds.
  • Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. While the scones are cooling, prepare the orange icing.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth. Add more orange juice, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Once the scones are cooled, drizzle the orange icing over the tops. Enjoy!
