Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining with parchment liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 cup of sugar until well combined. Gradually add ¼ cup of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder, mixing gently. Pour in 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Carefully distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ of the way full.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Allow the pies to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then remove and dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries if desired.
