Ingredients
Scale
For the Batter:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 1 can (21 oz) lemon pie filling or lemon curd
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and melt in the oven for about 5 minutes.
- Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth.
- Layer and Bake: Pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring. Spoon lemon pie filling over the batter evenly. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.

Notes
- For a stronger lemon flavor, stir lemon zest into the batter.
- This dessert creates its own layers as it bakes, so resist the urge to mix the batter and filling together.
