¹ /scɔnz/, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong
I typically pronounce it as /skɔnz/, but I love the use of /c/
That certainly brings a whole other dimension to the old how do you pronounce ‘scone’ question.
The definitive answer is /skɒn/, certainly not anything like /skoun/. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
Unless you're talking about the town in Perthshire, which as all right-thinking people know is /skun/.

I have never heard an American say anything like /skɑn/ myself.

Thank you for your right-thinkingness. My only difference would be my English IPA¹
¹ /skɔn/ and /skɵwn/, respectively
