Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or small ramekins.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth and slightly pale.
Add melted butter, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Sift in flour and salt gradually, whisking until fully combined. The batter will be thin.
Pour mixture evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are set but slightly jiggly.
Cool completely to allow layers to form naturally.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

Serve Baby Lemon Impossible Pies chilled or slightly warm on a white plate for a clean, elegant look. Add a light dusting of powdered sugar and a thin slice of fresh lemon or a few berries on the side. For extra appeal, drizzle a small amount of honey or lemon glaze on top right before serving to enhance shine and flavor.
