Ingredients
Scale
Main
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/3 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.
- Add the milk, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend the mixture on low until smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture into the prepared pie dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use whole milk. Adjust the lemon juice according to your taste preference. The pie may still have a slight jiggle in the center once removed from the oven; it will set further as it cools.
