Ingredients
  

1 cup whole milk

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 large lemon)

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a set of 6 small ramekins.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole milk, sugar, flour, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined.

      Pour the Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish or divide it evenly among the ramekins.

        Bake: Place the pie dish or ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. The filling will separate into a custard-like layer on the bottom and a cake-like layer on the top.

          Cool & Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve warm or chilled for an irresistible treat that is bursting with tangy lemon flavor!
