I always used to say scone as in bone. I've lived in scone as in gone territory for over 20 years and I'm inconsistent now.

It's not a word I say often enough to matter.

BTW, here's a map of about 20 regional American pronunciations; unfortunately, "scone" didn't make the list.

Used to be a coffee shop here called Scones and Cones. I told them it should be Scones and Cons.

As in bone, unless I’m telling the “what’s the fastest cake in the world” joke.

One of my favorite places for baked goods was called "No Scone Unturned"(rhyming with ‘bone’, of course). The one in the OP’s photo looks like what I call a "biscuit". The scones I’ve baked look more triangular, like this:
