Question for people from the UK

I am an ignorant yank who needs help.

How do you pronounce SCONE?

Does it rhyme with stone?
Or does it rhyme with fawn?
Or...?

Thanks for your help. I eat them all the time but feel silly for not knowing how to say the word properly. I usually rhyme it with stone.

There are two camps who won’t reconcile but the easy way to remember is …

When it’s on the plate it’s scone (rhyming with stone)
And when it’s eaten it’s scone (rhyming with gone) 😁
