Ingredients

Scale

Custard Base Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1/3 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your pie dish. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, eggs, milk, melted butter, and lemon zest until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add the Flour: Sift the flour into your wet mixture and gently fold it in, making sure to avoid lumps but not overmixing—that’s key to the magic crust formation.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and place it in the oven. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the pie is set with a golden top and the edges pull slightly away from the pan.
  5. Cool and Chill: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least two hours. Cooling enhances the texture and makes slicing neat and clean.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Lemons: Fresh juice and zest make a significant difference in the pie’s brightness and overall flavor.
  • Don’t Overmix: Gently fold the flour to preserve the light texture and ensure your crust forms properly.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Combine ingredients at room temperature for a smoother blend and better rise.
  • Check Oven Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to avoid overbaking or underbaking.
  • Let it Rest: Chilling overnight intensifies flavors and helps the pie firm up beautifully.
