How do you pronounce "scone"? - Lemmy.world

I need your help to settle this perpetual disagreement in my home. I’m team ‘skon’ whereas my husband is team ‘skone.’ Some context, we are not native to the UK so I will humbly accept consensus.

Technically neither is "correct" (as if a pronunciation by native speakers could be in any way wrong) as it's originally a Scots word, and in Scots it's pronounced [skɔn] so that it rhymes with "lawn"
