2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening, cold
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, old, extra old
1/2 cup mashed potatoes, cold
1/2 cup buttermilk (more if necessary)
1 egg, large

1
In a small frying pan, melt butter and add shallots, cook on medium low heat until, soft and tender. Remove from pan, cool and set aside until needed.
2
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
3
In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
4
Cut in the shortening until it resembles fine bread crumbs, then stir in the cheese, cooled shallots and the mashed potatoes.
5
Beat the egg and buttermilk together and pour into the flour, cheese and potato mixture all at once, stirring lightly until you have a soft sticky dough.
6
Add the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into a large circle about 3/4 to an inch thick. I use a water glass to cut out the dough.
7
Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a 425 degree oven for 10 - 12 minutes, until golden brown.
