→ Wet Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

21 oz lemon pie filling or lemon curd
→ Dry Ingredients
06 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
07 -
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
08 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
09 -
1 cup granulated sugar
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a 9×9-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven, about 3-4 minutes.
02 -
Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Add buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract (if using). Stir until smooth and thick but pourable.
03 -
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
04 -
Distribute the lemon pie filling or lemon curd evenly over the batter. Allow it to settle naturally.
05 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out with moist crumbs.
06 -
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set.
07 -
Cut into squares and serve warm. Optionally top with whipped cream, ice cream, or powdered sugar.
# Additional Information:
01 -
For a homemade buttermilk substitute, combine 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar with milk and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
02 -
Homemade lemon curd provides a richer flavor and can be prepared in advance.
03 -
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a hint of spice.
04 -
Best served warm but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
