While there are several recipes for Lazy Daisy Cake, many of them start the same way: beating eggs and sugar together in a large bowl. Next, flour, baking soda, and salt are added, then scalded milk ...

For the cake, place the two whole (or one large) lemons in a small saucepan, cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes, or until very soft and tender.

Cook the Welsh cakes in batches, for 2–3 minutes on each side until deep golden brown. Do not have the heat too high or they will burn before they are cooked through. Coat a plate with caster sugar.
