Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie crust by mixing flour, sugar, salt, and chilled butter until crumbly. Press into a pie dish and bake for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
- Gradually add milk and mix well. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until set and golden around the edges. Cool completely.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread over cooled pie and garnish with extra lemon zest before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for best flavor.
- Ensure crust is fully baked before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 hours before serving for best texture.
