Ingredient substitutions

Instead of Bisquick Baking Mix, you can use self-rising flour. The benefit of this substitution is that it will provide a lighter and fluffier texture to the scones.
Instead of pineapple tidbits, you can use diced peaches. The benefit of this substitution is that it will add a more subtle sweetness to the scones.
