In a medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, and vanilla, then slowly add to the flour mixture. Stir lightly just until dough comes together (you can use your hands). Use a large mixing spoon or your hands to drop dough (about 2 to 3 tablespoons worth) onto ungreased baking sheet. Alternatively, you can press dough on a lightly floured surface and use a biscuit cutter or drinking glass to cut out rounds of dough. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
