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 fingertips, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the diced mango, ensuring the pieces are evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal wedges.
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush the tops of the scones with milk or cream and, if desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with clotted cream or additional fresh mango slices.
