Step 1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 3. Add the cold butter and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4. Stir in the cheddar cheese, chives, and crumbled bacon.
Step 5. Pour in the milk and stir gently until the dough just comes together.
Step 6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
Step 7. Roll the dough into a 1-inch thick round and cut into wedges.
Step 8. Place scones on the baking sheet and brush the tops with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
Step 9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 10. Let cool slightly before serving.
