Ingredients
Scale
Essential Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
Optional Add-Ons:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Lemon zest (for extra brightness)
- Whipped cream (for serving)
- Fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a blender, combine sugar, lemon juice, eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, and melted butter. Blend until smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds.
- Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The pies will puff up during baking and settle as they cool.
- Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with lemon zest or berries before serving, if desired.
Notes
- You can prepare the batter ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
- These pies can be served warm, room temperature, or chilled—each offering a slightly different texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
