How do you pronounce "scone"? (self.ukcasual)

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 can't help but see skone. However, my husband insists on being team skon so we both call it a skon, against my best judgement.

I kind of fell into skon that way too but from being out in public. Perhaps it is because we are in scotland but I swear it is 50/50 on how someone chooses to pronounce it!
