- In a liquid measuring cup, add milk, egg, and vanilla. Whisk with a fork. Pour the liquids through the chute into the food processor while it is on the knead function. Mix just until the dough starts to come together.1/3 cup milk, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Turn out onto a clean surface and knead gently to bring the dough together completely. Add a touch more flour, if needed. Pat into a circle about a half inch thick. Use a bench scraper or knife to cut them into eight wedges.
- Place wedges on prepped baking sheet and place in 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Bake until lightly golden. They will spring back when you poke them. Let cool 2-3 minutes, then serve immediately. Store on your counter up to 2 days in a tightly sealed container.
Notes
- You can make this without a food processor, as well. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture and a wooden spoon to mix in the liquid ingredients. This is easier if you freeze your butter and then grate it into the flour.
