Here is the recipe for scones. I substituted cherry flavored Craisins for the regular raisins and increased the sugar by ¼ cup. After burning the first batch it occurred to me perhaps I should adjust the recipe for the altitude. I increased the baking temperature a bit and reduce the cooking time by a couple minutes.

my experience with high altitude baking is that it requires a bit more flour - the recipe sounds really good
The scones were AMAZING! I can't wait to try baking some myself. The high altitude baking thing is totally new to me though, so advice is much appreciated.
We made the scones, they were well received by the Iowa Easter crowd, a tough bunch of critics. We added dried cherries, pecans, and a sprinkle of sugar over the tops before baking.
