Using a pastry cutter or a fork, work the chilled ingredients together in the bowl until the butter cubes are the size of peas. Make a well in the center. Combine the vanilla and milk in a separate bowl, and pour the mixture into the well. Mix the ingredients with a spoon to form a shaggy, slightly crumbly mass. Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes to let the flour absorb the liquid, then fold one more time. If the dough seems simply too dry to come together, add 1 tablespoon milk at a time until it just barely comes together.
