Scone

A scone is a single-serving cake or quick bread. They are usually made of wheat, barley or oatmeal, with baking powder as a leavening agent, and are baked on sheet pans. They are often lightly sweetened and are occasionally glazed with egg wash. The scone is a basic component of the cream tea or Devonshire tea. It differs from a teacake and other sweet buns, which are made with yeast.

Lexicology

The pronunciation of the word within the English-speaking world varies. According to one academic study, two-thirds of the British population pronounce it /ˈskɒn/ with the preference rising to 99% in the Scottish population. Similarly, in some parts of the Republic of Ireland, it is pronounced /ˈskɒn/. This is also the pronunciation of Australians and Canadians. Others, particularly inhabitants of the United States, pronounce the word as /ˈskoʊn/, as spelled. British dictionaries usually show the /ˈskɒn/ form as the preferred pronunciation, while recognising that the /ˈskoʊn/ form also exists.
