Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Whisk together the all-purpose flour, amaranth flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Whisk together the milk and egg. Add the mixture to the dry ingredients and mix gently until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together without kneading much. Pat it to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick and cut into 6 rounds.
Arrange on a lined baking sheet and brush the tops with a little milk. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until well risen and golden.
