Answer

SCONE

A scone is a single serving quick bread that originated in Scotland, typically made with wheat, barley, or oatmeal and baking powder as a leavening agent. The pronunciation actually varies by region, with some saying it to rhyme with 'gone' and others with 'cone.' Scones are central to the British cream tea tradition and have become popular worldwide in coffee shops and bakeries.

Strategy Tip

Today's word contains the common consonant blend SC at the beginning. When you see unusual letter combinations in your guesses, pay attention to whether they might work together as a blend rather than separately.
