Ingredients
Scale
Pie Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk (whole or any milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For Garnish
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, and baking powder until the mixture is smooth. Then add milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
- Pour into Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow room for baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The pies should be golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. You will notice a natural crust forming around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pies to cool in the muffin tin for several minutes before carefully removing them. Dust the tops with powdered sugar and add fresh berries for an optional garnish. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk you prefer, such as skim, almond, or oat milk.
- Fresh lemon juice and zest are recommended for the best citrus flavor.
- If you don’t have a muffin tin, small ramekins can be used.
- These pies are best enjoyed within 2 days and can be refrigerated.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
