I'm surrounding by bloody idiots in my office. It is pronounced to rhyme with "gone" not bloody "cone".
How could the former pronunciation possibly be posh?
Morons the lot of em.

Tell 'em that you'll eat theirs until they pronounce it properly. 😆
Its sgone in scotland
Un less its schoon palace.
Fastest cake in the world...
Only works with the correct pronunciation
Keep up Scotroutes
NO - you are wrong - otherwise it would be spelt 'scon'
Rhymes with cone for me. Pronounced as it’s spelt.
The other way always sounds posh/pretentious to me.
Sorry.
What is discussed more, how to pronounce scones or threads on singletrack on how to pronounce scones?
The answer is threads on cream or jam first 😀
NO - you are wrong - otherwise it would be spelt 'scon'
So you spell "gone" as "gon", and "one" as "on", do you?
Morone 😉
check the small print in ya contract
Bez - obviously 'gone' should be spelled 'gon' and 'one' as 'won'
Smart as 😉

No.
One is pronounce 'wun'.
Gone is pronounced 'gon', not 'gun'.
'Scone' is pronounced 'scon'.
Scone rhymes with stone.
And cream first.
Other, wrong, opinions are available.
Scone rhymes with stone. And cream first.

Scone rhymes with stone.
This, though I don't care what order things go on, as long as it's on 😀
Ah it’s that time again.
Coming up next Jam or Cream fist.
It rhymes with On.
Coming up next Jam or Cream fist.
Cream.
Need all the lubrication you can get for that sort of thing.

The only way this post could've been more wrong is if Jamba had written it. (-:
A scone exists for one purpose, and one purpose alone. And that is to facilitate the consumption of as much clotted cream as possible.
So, in this scheme of things, the jam's role is much like that of butter in a sandwich: it's not there to feature in its own right, it's there to help you eat more of the other, better stuff without your mouth getting stuck together or any other unpleasantness occurring. (Jam has precisely the same role in a PBJ sandwich, where a thin layer of it lets you eat twice as much peanut butter without gluing your face shut for the rest of the day.)
A thin layer of jam is plenty: just like butter on bread. And then on top of this you spoon as much clotted cream as you have available. If the scone isn't twice its height by the time you've stuck cream on it then something's gone wrong. (If your tea shop has not provided enough cream for this, go and shout rudely at them.)
Loaded up properly like this, one scone should be quite adequate, leaving you at the point of feeling borderline sick but massively satisfied with the amount of clotted cream you've put away, and ready for the rest of the day down the middle class tin mine.
... is the right answer. And bonus points for being the only person outside of the US other than me who knows how to make a PBJ.
... is the right answer.
except flip the jam on top.
Cream.Need all the lubrication you can get for that sort of thing.
😳
😆

If you can spread jam on top of cream, you have insufficient cream. Redo from start.
Just a spoonful of jam dropped on top. Think of it as a gentle snowcap of jam on the cream mountain.
pronounced to rhyme with gone. Jam first.
wars have been fought over less I suspect. 😆

I am the TM for a bakery that produces over a million scones a day i probably consume more scones that most. I get asked the 'Scon' or 'Scone' question a lot. 'Scone' is my answer :D.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean your answer is right...

Cone & cream on top f@£" in heathens 👿
scone= sgone.
as much cream and jam as you can get on it without having to use two hands to shove it in your mouth, or have the GF tut at you as you gag everso slightly as you've really got to much food in your mouth. Complain loudly for the rest of the day that you have a tummy ache.
Get no pudding later on.
