Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking powder, and kosher salt, whisking thoroughly.
- Rinse and roughly chop fresh cranberries.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar with zest from the oranges, rubbing zest into the sugar.
- Add whisked dry ingredients to the sugar and zest mixture and stir gently until combined.
- Cut cold butter into small pieces and work into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, cold egg, orange juice, and vanilla extract until frothy. Pour it into the dry mixture.
- Fold in the chopped cranberries until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead a few times, and shape into a 7-inch round circle, about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
- Chill the shaped dough in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
- Cut the chilled dough into eight equal wedges and transfer to the baking sheet. Brush with extra buttermilk and sprinkle raw sugar on top.
- Bake for 22-26 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- While cooling, whisk together powdered sugar and orange juice to create the glaze, then drizzle over cooled scones.
