There are two ways to pronounce scone. "Skon" is generally used in Scotland and Northern England and "Skoan" is used in the South. In the United States and Canada both pronunciations are used but "skoan" seems to be the most favored. Scones are believed to have originated in Scotland and are closely related to the griddle baked flatbread, known as bannock. They were first made with oats, shaped into a large pie like round, scored into four to six triangles, and cooked on a griddle either over an open fire or on top of the stove.
