Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius.
Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Pop aside.
In a frypan on a medium heat, fry off the bacon bits until browned and slighly crispy on the ends (about 5 minutes)
Add the bacon to the bowl of dry ingredients. Add grated cheddar and chopped chives. Combine.
In a small bowl add the honey to the buttermilk and give a good stir.
Add the buttermilk mixture to the mixing bowl with other ingredients. Stir just to combine, but no more. The mixture should be quite wet. This is completely normal. Cover with a clean tea towel and rest the dough for 30 minutes.
Form the dough into a rough ball and pop onto a piece of baking paper on a baking tray (or like I do, into a cast iron frypan). Using the back of a wet spoon, gently smooth over the surface to guide it into a round, bread dough. Score the top of the dough with a large X.
Pop into the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes.
