In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, icing sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add the cold butter cut into cubes and rub it between your fingers until the texture is sandy.
Add the milk and vanilla, then knead quickly until you have a smooth dough.
Roll the dough out to 3 mm (⅛ in) thick between two sheets of baking paper, then cut out rounds with a glass.
Prick each biscuit with a fork and arrange them on a tray lined with baking paper.
Bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden. Let them cool on a wire rack.
