The question should be: 'How does one pronounce scone'

Oh, and if you even think about putting the jam on first, I will hunt you down and kill you to death.

Only a colossal eejit would put the cream on first.

To rhyme with 'gone', but I'm increasingly uncomfortable with that, and have been experimenting with the 'rhymes with bone' variation...

Oh, and it's jam first. then cream. That makes it fancy/different/special, a cake. Y'know, with cream on top.

Cream is more or less the same as butter. Cream first means you're treating the majestic scone just like a jam sandwich.

I say it so it sounds like cone and one

On what planet are they homophones?

To the Manx, it's "skon" although my in-laws, who are from that Yorkshire pronounce it "scone" - like stone, in other words.

Skon

Tattie skon

Drop skon (Pancake)

Palace of Scone. Skoon

Scoane is for some English visitors and Scots with pretensions of grandeur. Jam cream butter goes on in whatever order is available. If someone else has the jam put on cream for maximum efficiency.

My nephew's favourite joke about the fastest cake only works one way. I'm with him.

If you eat it, then it rhymes with gone. Cream is for soft southern shandy drinkers, real scones have butter and jam.

The castle rhymes with loon.

My nephew's favourite joke about the fastest cake

But is that a cake, or a meringue?

Usually skon, sometimes skown. I'm Scottish, my parents are from Leeds and the West Midlands.

Jam or cream first may depend on how firm the cream is.
