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.
