- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese, bacon, and chives.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream and egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Cut the circle into 8 wedges using a sharp knife.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
