Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Lemon Juice (about 2–3 lemons), strained of seeds
  • 2 large Eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/2 cup Self-Rising Flour measured and lightly leveled
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 zest Lemon finely grated
  • Powdered Sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the melted butter, self-rising flour, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the bowl. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a light jiggle remains in the very center.
  • Allow the pies to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove to a cooling rack. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
