I have always pronounced ‘scone’ as in ‘stone’ and thought that was the only official pronunciation for it. However, during the years I spent in England, I’ve come across a good number of people who would pronounce it as in ‘gone’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently in Scotland and the northern part of England, it is pronounced to rhyme with ‘gone’ while in the south of England, the ‘stone’ pronunciation can more often be observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, scones<\/a> originated from both Scotland and South West England where at that time, it was made with oats and baked on a griddle with no leavening agents added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do you pronounce scone?
– to rhyme with ‘gone’, or
– to rhyme with ‘stone’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got inspired with rhymes to write a little poem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pitter-patter on the window,
Raindrops <\/strong>calling for dough
Flour on the counter
Half an hour later
Golden scones<\/strong>, pipping hot
Share them, I think not!
Brew a cup of tea<\/strong>,
And all grim cease to be
An enchantment of fragrance<\/strong>
Like a new-found romance
With strawberry jam and cream
This must be a dream<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have tried many scones recipes and adapted the non-vegan ones too. But my favourite remains this plain scone recipe which I have made many times. This is a light and fluffy version which you can enjoy with your favourite spread or topping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also make my own oat milk<\/a> or coconut milk<\/a> that are great to use in this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
