Sieve the flour into a large bowl, then rub in the butter cubes until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the Stilton, pickled walnuts, mustard and chives.
Make a well in the centre of the mixture, and using a round bladed knife, gradually mix in the milk until a soft dough is formed. Take care not to overmix.
