Preheat your oven to 200C. Line a baking tray with baking paper or Silpat.
In a large bowl, whisk together all purpose, quinoa flour, baking powder and raw sugar.
Add the cubed butter and using your fingertips, cut into the dry ingredients until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
Pour in the milk. Stir it all together until the mixture comes together like a scraggy dough.
Turn it out to a floured surface and gently it bring it together in a ball. We don't need to knead the dough.
Flour your hands and pat the dough into a 1" thick circle. Use round cookie cutter to cut into 10-12 circles.
Gently place these on the prepared tray. Brush with almond milk and sprinkle over the cinnamon - sugar mixture.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Let the shortcakes cool.
