Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (cooled)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (bottled is fine)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix

Other

  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Combine the milk, sugar, Bisquick baking mix, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend on low speed for 3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Rest Mixture: Allow the blended mixture to rest for 5 minutes. This resting time helps the ingredients to settle and promotes the formation of the custard and crust during baking.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the pie is golden on top and set in the center.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before serving. For best texture, refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • For a brighter lemon flavor, fresh lemon juice can be substituted for bottled.
  • Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven; check doneness by gently shaking the pie—only a slight jiggle in the center is acceptable.
  • This pie naturally forms its crust during baking, so no additional crust preparation is needed.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
  • This recipe can be doubled using a larger baking dish but adjust baking time accordingly.
