For the shortcake:

Place the flours, half the white sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and chia seeds in a blender or food processor and mix lightly. Add the cold butter in ½ inch pieces and pulse a few times.
Add milk in batches and pulse until incorporated.
Spread roughly in a 9 x 9 inch pan with a fork. Sprinkle the remaining half of the granulated sugar on top, this will make it beautifully crispy. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 385°F.
