Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 9-inch pie dish
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
  • Add in the eggs, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk until fully combined and the mixture is light and airy.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish. Do not worry if it seems runny; it will form its own crust during baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. The pie will deflate slightly as it cools.
  • Serve warm or cold, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

For a stronger lemon flavor, you can increase the amount of lemon zest or juice.
This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days; it can be enjoyed either chilled or at room temperature.
