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.

Used to be a teashop here in Denver called Scones and Cones. The best corned beef and cabbage. I asked once if it should be Scones and Cons. They didn't know what I was talking about. Probably from New Joisey!

@hunkalove There was once a shop in Kensington named “No Scone Unturned”. They were clearly rhyming it with “stone”. The scones themselves were delicious. I hated when they closed. 🙁
