Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Pies
  • 1 cup milk Provides moisture and lightness. Consider using almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Sweetens the pies; can substitute with a sugar alternative if needed.
  • 1/2 cup flour Gives structure; whole wheat or gluten-free flour is a great alternative.
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted Adds richness; coconut oil can be an excellent substitute for dairy-free versions.
  • 3 large eggs Binds the ingredients and provides a custardy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor; use pure vanilla for the best results.
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice Essential for that zesty lemon flavor; store-bought juice can work in a pinch, but fresh is ideal.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest Elevates the citrusy flavor; zest more lemons if you love a stronger taste.
  • pinch salt Balances the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. Grease a muffin tin thoroughly or use cupcake liners for easier cleanup.

  4. Blend until smooth using a hand mixer or blender.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden and set.
  2. Allow to cool slightly before removing them from the tin.
Serving
  1. Serve warm or chilled, topped with whipped cream or fresh berries.

Notes

These pies taste even better the next day, so consider making them ahead. Use room-temperature eggs for better mixing results. Experiment with adding a teaspoon of poppy seeds for a unique twist.
