Baking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with cupcake liners.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and flour until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
- Pour in the milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 22-25 minutes until set and slightly golden on top.
- Let the pies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
Add extra lemon zest for a more intense lemon flavor. These 'impossible pies' form their own crust while baking. The pies may sink slightly in the center when cooling - this is normal.
