In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Use immediately for your favorite recipes, such as pancakes, waffles, or muffins, or store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for later use.
To cook, heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat for pancakes, or pour the batter into a waffle iron or muffin tin depending on your desired dish. Cook until golden and cooked through.
