Put all the ingredients except for the milk into a food processor and blitz until smooth. Add the milk down the funnel whilst pulsing to make a soft dropping consistency.
Easy Peasy!!
If doing in the traditional way, cream the butter and sugar, add the vanilla and then the eggs one at a time adding a spoonful of flour each time. Fold in the remainder of the flour, then add the milk.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked and golden.
