Over-mixing the dough can result in tough baked goods, so pay close attention to the process when adding the butter and milk mixture to ensure soft, tender scones.

Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the milk and eggs until blended.
Stir in chives and set aside. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Add cold butter and cut in butter with a pastry blender, or quickly blend with your fingertips, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Do not over-mix.
Add 1 cup of the grated cheese and stir just to combine.
Add milk mixture and stir just until moist clumps begin to form.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a ball.
Cut dough ball in half, then flatten each half into an 8-inch round circle, about 1/2-inch thick.
Cut each circle into 6 wedges, as you would cut a pie.
Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Place on a nonstick baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
