Gluten-free Cranberry Scones

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups white sorghum flour
• 1 1/4 cups white rice flour
• 1/4 cup tapioca starch
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold butter cut into small pieces
• 3/4 cup buttermilk or soy yogurt (flavor of choice)
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh orange peel or lemon peel
• Extra rice flour for dusting
• 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional)

Process

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flours, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse meal.
3. In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, brown sugar, one egg or flax gel, cranberries and orange peel. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients and add the wet mixture. Blend well until dough begins to clump into a ball. Do not over-mix.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon rice flour onto parchment and turn dough onto paper. Turn dough a couple times, pressing and kneading it together. Press into an 8- or 9-inch circle and cut into about 10 wedges. Brush top with beaten egg, if desired. Use a spatula to slightly separate wedges.
5. Bake 14 to 18 minutes. Remove and place pan on a wire rack to cool at least 10 minutes. Scones can be served warm or at room temperature. For best results, don’t serve directly from the oven.
