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 grew up in the west midlands in a 'skone' household, but have since moved to Scotland and live with a scottish person who accuses me of being posh if I pronounce it that way. I generally use 'skon' now in the interests of domestic harmony. I do draw the line at 'skoon' though; that's just wrong.
