Add the butter, sugar and zest to a large mixing bowl and sift in the gluten free flour, baking powder and xanthan gum. Using your fingers, rub the mix together until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the milk, orange juice and egg to a jug and beat lightly until combined. Pour into the flour mix and use a wooden spoon to bring the mix together. As soon as it comes together as a dough, It will still be quite sticky, lightly flour the worktop and turn it out.
Knead the dough a couple of times to bring it together then use your hands to bring the dough into a circle, about 4'' thick. Cut into 6 triangles.
Place the scones on the lined baking tray. Brush each scone with a little milk.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, until golden on top.
Cool completely then make the glaze.
