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.

@comfi1 Aye, and 'appen my Midlands parents always said "scone"!

Funny isn't it, regional accents being so different in a space less than 200 miles "high"! (Their Nottingham to Appleby-in-Westmoreland, perhaps.)
