In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4:

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges or rounds.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra cream for a golden finish.
