  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a round about 1-inch thick, cutting into 8 wedges.
  8. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
  9. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and additional vanilla extract for the glaze.
