Description
Learn how to make delicious Lemon Impossible Pies. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
If you’re out of lemons, lime juice makes a bright substitute. And if you’re watching your sugar intake, feel free to reduce the sugar slightly without sacrificing much of the pie’s charm.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps.
- Add the eggs, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the dry ingredients.
- Whisk the mixture thoroughly until smooth. It should be quite runny, but don’t worry—this is where the magic happens!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish. Place it in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. This will help the custard set, making it easier to serve.
Remember, patience is key. As tempting as it is to dive right in, letting the pie cool ensures the best texture and flavor.
