- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. - Mix the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and salt. Add melted butter and mix until well incorporated. - Add Wet Ingredients:
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Add the milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth. The batter will be very thinβthis is normal! - Pour into Muffin Tins:
Carefully pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. - Bake:
Bake for 30β35 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and the centers are set. The pies will puff up while baking and settle as they cool. - Cool:
Allow the pies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently remove and let them cool completely on a wire rack. - Serve:
Once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired. These pies are delicious served at room temperature or chilled.
