Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup heavy cream, the egg, and the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a 1-inch-thick circle.
Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, divide the dough into 8 equal wedges or rounds and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the scones with the extra tablespoon of heavy cream to encourage browning during baking.
Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Let the scones cool slightly before serving. Pair with a generous spread of apricot jam and enjoy!
