Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Sugar: This sweetener balances the tartness of the lemons perfectly; opt for granulated sugar for best results.
- Fresh Lemons: Use juicy lemons—look for bright yellow ones with smooth skin for maximum flavor.
- Eggs: Fresh eggs create a rich custard; room temperature works best for even mixing.
- Milk: Whole milk adds creaminess; consider using almond milk if you prefer a dairy-free version.
- Flour: All-purpose flour will help bind everything together; no need for fancy types here.
- Baking Powder: This leavening agent helps create that impossibly light texture we love.
- Butter: Unsalted butter enhances flavor without adding extra salt; melted is preferred.
- Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract elevates the flavor profile; skip imitation stuff if possible.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie dish with cooking spray or butter so nothing sticks.
Mix Ingredients Together: In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, and baking powder until well combined. Set aside while you get zesty.
Add Zesty Goodness: Squeeze fresh lemon juice into another bowl; add eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth—a whisk works wonders here.
Combine Mixtures Gently: Gradually pour the wet mixture into your dry ingredients while stirring gently. You want it mixed but not overworked; we’re aiming for lightness.
Pour into Pie Dish and Bake: Pour the mixture into your prepared pie dish evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until set and golden brown. Your kitchen will smell heavenly.
Cool and Serve: Let your beautiful creation cool completely on wire racks before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch—enjoy every slice.
