Ingredients

Scale

Pie Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (not bottled)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (from fresh lemons)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prepare it for baking the pies.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a blender or a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, whole milk, all-purpose flour, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend or whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous.
  3. Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the blended mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow space for rising during baking.
  4. Bake Pies: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 28 to 32 minutes. The tops should turn lightly golden, and the centers should be just set, indicating they are fully baked.
  5. Cool and Chill: Once baked, let the pies cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes to set. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. For best flavor and texture, chill the pies for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor impact.
  • Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature to help the mixture blend smoothly.
  • Do not overfill the muffin cups to prevent spills while baking.
  • Chilling the pies enhances the custard texture and lemon flavor.
  • These mini pies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
