I've always said scone - as in stone...

In traditional English grammar the e makes the o long.

Scon as in ton isn't strictly right, but then I think the word has a Scottish origin, so perhaps our Northern friends could put us right?

That's what happens when you get a mongrel language. It's rich, quirky, can look a bit odd and is utterly beautiful. I do like mongrels.

Fleas flee when faced with fleabags flouting flighty words about curs, hounds, bowwows and mutts.

I asked the maid in dulcet tone

To order me a buttered scone

The silly girl has been and gone

And ordered me a buttered scone.

I prefer the gone pronunciation... as does the dictionary and most of the population.

Also this joke doesn't work with the tone way...

What't the fastest cake in the world? Scone

Anything that deprives the world of a joke (even a bad one) is just plain wrong!
