Sieve the flour into a bowl, add salt, cut and rub in the fat. Grill the bacon for 2 minutes then cut into fine pieces and add to the flour along with the grated cheese and finely chopped parsley. Use the lightly beaten egg and buttermilk to mix together to a soft dough. Shape into 8 rounds, place on a floured baking sheet, brush with egg then lightly dust with a little cooked bacon and cheese. Cook in the oven at 220C/425F/gas 7 for 10-15 minutes until golden, risen and cooked. Serve either hot or cold and lightly buttered.
