Cloud Biscuits are a delightfully fluffy treat, perfect for breakfast or brunch. The biscuits are simple to whip up and require minimal ingredients, making them an easy yet satisfying addition to any meal.
For those needing substitutions, you can use all-purpose flour combined with baking powder if self-rising flour is unavailable. If you’re avoiding dairy, consider using a plant-based butter and a non-dairy milk. Always check for allergies related to gluten or dairy before serving.

Cloud Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups self-rising flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups self-rising flour and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Grate 1/2 cup cold butter into the flour mixture and mix until the texture is crumbly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 2/3 cup milk before adding it to the flour mixture.
- Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened; don’t overmix – a little bit of lumpy is good.
- Turn the dough onto a floured board and gently knead it 3 to 4 times.
- Pat or roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough.
- Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking stone or sheet.
- Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
