How do you pronounce "scone"? - eviltoast

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.

    I’m a commoner, so it’s Scon for me! As humans we tend to cut out words and letters due to laziness, or to put it positively, to save time 😂.

      Scon to rhyme with gone is how posh people say it - the Queen said it that way herself!
