Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, vanilla extract and milk together.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry one and stir with a spoon until the mixture just comes together as a thick, lumpy dough. Add a teaspoon more milk if you really need it to make the mixture stick together.
- Use a biscuit pastry cutter (size of your choice) to cut pastry into equal sizes and place with space between ( they will flatten) on the baking tray.
