Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or mini pie pans.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, eggs, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
-
Fill the Pans: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin or mini pie pans, filling each about 3/4 full.
-
Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set. The pies will puff up while baking and then slightly deflate as they cool.
-
Serve: Allow the pies to cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
