If you love citrusy desserts that are both refreshing and easy to make, then you’re going to adore Baby Lemon Impossible Pies! These bite-sized delights get their name from the way they bake—magically forming a delicate crust, a creamy custard-like center, and a lightly golden top, all from a single batter. No need for complicated layering or extra steps—the oven does the magic for you!
What Makes Them “Impossible”?
The term “impossible pie” comes from an old-fashioned baking trick where a single batter miraculously separates into distinct layers during baking. The secret lies in the mix of ingredients, particularly the eggs, milk, and a bit of flour, which create a custardy filling with a light, self-forming crust. These pies are soft, slightly chewy, and bursting with lemony goodness!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
