Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole milk
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with cupcake liners. This will ensure that your pies don’t stick and come out perfectly.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will be the base of your pie mixture.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth. The lemon juice and zest will give your pies that tangy, zesty flavor.
- Incorporate the Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra touch of flavor.
- Pour in the Milk: Gradually add the whole milk to the mixture, stirring until everything is well combined. The batter should be smooth and pourable.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This will give your pies enough room to rise and form their own crust.
- Bake the Pies: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pies to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Enjoy your sunshine-filled treats!
