Preheat the oven to 375°F
Sauté shallots with a tsp of oil 5 minutes until golden brown.
Lightly grease a 10×16 baking sheet (or use parchment paper).
In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
Add the oil gradually and stir into to the flour mixture until you have a crumbly mixture.
Add the cheese, shallots and corn, fold into the mix.
Blend yogurt and milk in a separate bowl. Whisk in the eggs.
Add to flour, stir into the mix until everything is evenly moistened.
Kneed the dough slightly then form into a ball.
Dust a clean surface and your hands with some flour.
Pat the dough into a 10″ x 2″ rectangle.
Cut the rectangle into 4 squares; then cut each square in half diagonally.
Place the scones onto the baking sheet, leaving at least 1” between them.
