Steps:
- Preheat oven to 220°C.
- Grill the bacon until starting to crisp. Cool and chop into small dice.
- Sift the flour into a mixing bowl along with the mustard powder, baking powder and cayenne.
- Using your hands rub the butter into the mixture until it's fully blended and it looks like fine breadcrumbs.
- Stir in the bacon, 3 /4 of the cheddar and chives.
- Mix the beaten egg with the buttermilk. Stir into the flour mixture until it's formed a smooth dough, but go lightly, otherwise the scones will be very heavy.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1 inch thickness. Cut into 6 circles with a 2 1/2 inch cutter.
- Place scones on a greased baking sheet. Brush with milk and sprinkle over remaining cheddar.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes.

Steps:
- 1. Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in butter. Add cheese and bacon. Mix well. Stir in buttermilk until blended.
- 2. Divide dough in half and flatten into about 1/2 inch thick round. Score each round into 8 pieces.
- 3. Place on greased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart and bake at 400 degrees for about 20-25 mins. Serve warm or at room temp.
Tips:
- Use cold butter for a flakier scone.
- Grate the butter into the flour mixture to create small pockets of butter that will melt and create steam during baking, resulting in a light and airy scone.
- Do not overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the scones. A dull knife will tear the dough and make the scones uneven.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown. If the scones are not baked long enough, they will be doughy in the center.
- Let the scones cool slightly before serving. This will allow the scones to firm up and make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Cheddar bacon buttermilk scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a crowd or for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious scones at home.
