Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). As the warmth fills my kitchen, I gather my mixing bowls and start combining the whole milk, granulated sugar, flour, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice. I love how each of these ingredients brings a wonderful flavor and texture to the mix. Use your electric mixer to beat everything together until it’s smooth and well combined—this step takes mere minutes, and the aroma is simply lovely! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
