Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, and baking powder until smooth. Add milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt; whisk until well combined.
- Pour batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Crust will form naturally around edges.
- Cool pies in the tin for a few minutes, then remove. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for best flavor; bottled juice can taste artificial.
- Do not overfill muffin cups to prevent overflow.
- Let pies cool slightly before removing from the tin so they set properly.
