Ingredients
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)
-
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
1 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
-
3 large eggs
-
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
-
Zest of 1 lemon
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to begin warming up.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a blender or large bowl, combine sugar, flour, melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt. Blend or whisk until smooth and well mixed.
-
Prepare the Pie Dish: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
-
Pour and Bake: Pour the mixture into the pie dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
-
Cool Down: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 30 minutes. It will firm up as it cools.
-
Serve: Slice and serve the pie either at room temperature or chilled. Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
-
Expert Tip: Ensure the pie is baked long enough for it to set properly. A slightly firm texture is ideal, but avoid overbaking.
-
Make-Ahead: This pie tastes even better the next day after the flavors meld together. Store it in the fridge and serve chilled.
-
Allergy-Friendly: Use dairy-free milk and gluten-free flour to make this pie suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
