Scone. It's the correct way of pronouncing it, as the magic e changes the o sound.

I'm neither. It's scone as in cone. Because that's how it's pronounced.

Ps. I think it is a regional thing rather than posh/ common

Scone like gone for me as well - RP accent here and Home Counties woman. I think it probably is a regional thing - people have peculiar ways of speaking.

Its nothing to do with being posh.

Us northerners say scone as in scon or gone

It’s dialect. One can be posh and still refer to it as a scone as in scon or gone.

May I ask why now on every post people have written scone you deliberately use skone ?

I am not sure it's a regional thing. I say scone which rhymes with gone and con . But others in Staffordshire say scown like cone .

Well for me its scone, with a soft o.

Scottish kings were crowned on the Stone of Scone, and nobody pronounces that as scon.

people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, so can they throw scones instead?
