there is no correct pronunciation. both are correct. try to be consistent with your usual english speaking accent. if you usually speak like a brit, say ¨awnt¨, if you usually speak like a midwestern american, say ¨ant¨. also new england uses ¨awnt¨.

Both are correct, awnt and ant. It depends on where you're from, and what pronunciation your family uses.
