Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, cane sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut cold, unsalted butter into small chunks and work into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, folding gently until the dough just comes together.
  6. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, shape into a circle about 1.5 inches thick, and score into 8 slices.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Prepare the orange icing by whisking together powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth.
  9. Drizzle the icing over the cooled scones and serve warm.
