Definitely "Scon". The 9 who voted "scone" are misinformed!🤣

@ArtieKat I agree so hard with this

I actually don't have a position on this, I use them interchangably. That's as soemeone who usually comes down firmly on one side or the other on these things. Always cream on before jam though!

Yep doing the jam and cream next @annamk

Scone pronounced skon
Adogslife · 61-69, M
The Brits scone rhymes with “gone”
The American scone rhymes with “cone”

Dictionaries recognize both pronunciations.

And to make matters worse, there’s a town Scone in Scotland. It’s name is pronounced “skoon”.

It's scone until you eat it, then it's scon

Scone is a town here in Australia and Scotland so it is Scon
ArtieKat · M
@Gusman I thought the Scottish was prounounced "skoon"
Gusman · 61-69, M
@ArtieKat Yes, it is, my error.
Still, I pronounce Scone, Scon 😄

@ArtieKat Scottish English is special.. XD

It's spelt "scone" but it's pronounced "scon". It's a bit like "gone".

It's not scoane, that's for sure!

I’ve always thought it was “scone” rhymed with stone. A little shop that I visited was called “No Scone Unturned”.
