Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour until the mixture is smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition to ensure a homogenous batter.
- Stir in whole milk, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the batter is fully blended.
- Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Transfer the tin to the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the center of each pie is just set and the tops are lightly golden.
- Allow the mini pies to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and chill for optimal texture.
- Dust each mini pie with powdered sugar before serving.
