Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Using a pastry blender or your hands, cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly. Remember the butter should be grated and cold or frozen.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream.
Add liquid ingredients, bacon, cheese, and chives to the dry ingredients, and stir until moistened or until it holds together. This is best done by hand.
Sprinkle a small amount of flour onto parchment paper.
Press dough into an 8-inch circle, about 3/4 inch thick.
Brush the top with a little additional cream.
Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
Place the wedges onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure there is room for them to expand.
Place this in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to chill.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
