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.

@ElwoodBlues That’s a really interesting article.
The one exception I’d note on my example: the girl pronounces the word aunt as "annt". I pronounce it "ahnt", possibly because the word I grew up hearing was "tante", which has the "ah" sound.
