Steps:
- Heat oven to 120C/100C fan/gas 1. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a pencil, draw 6-8 clouds on each piece of parchment measuring about 10cm across by 8cm in height. Use a template as the left half of the cloud needs to be a mirror image of the right (or they won't match when they are sandwiched together). Then, turn the parchment over so the pencil marks don't come into contact with the meringue.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then gradually whisk in the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until stiff and glossy. Add in the black food colouring to make a light grey.
- Place the meringue mix in a large piping bag and pipe over the templates. Bake for 20 mins then reduce the heat to 100C/80C fan/gas ¼ and cook for a further hour or until completely dry. Leave to cool thoroughly in the oven.
- To create the storm cloud lollies, pipe stiff royal icing on the meringue, just around the edge, then add a little more to secure the stick. Fill the inside of the piped area with coloured sprinkles of your choice. Add the lolly stick to the cloud, over the icing, then sandwich the other meringue over the top to enclose the sprinkles and the top of the lolly stick. Leave to dry completely for about 3 hours or overnight.

Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter creates a flaky texture in the scones. If the butter is too warm, it will melt and make the scones tough.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor and makes the scones easier to handle.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven: A hot oven helps to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Don't overbake the scones: Overbaking the scones will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown.
Conclusion:
Cloud scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these fluffy, flavorful scones in no time. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give cloud scones a try.
