Put the flour, salt and baking powder into a mixing bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.
3.
Add the milk and vanilla and mix to a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour.
4.
Pat into a round about 4 cm | 1 3/4" thick. Cut out 4 rounds with a 5 cm | 2" cutter. Lightly knead the trimmings and pat out as before. Cut out another 4 rounds.
