– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups water
– 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon lemon zest
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or another suitable oven-safe dish.

2. Prepare the Lemon Filling:
In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the water, whisking until the mixture is smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and turns clear (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat, then stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the lemon mixture into your prepared baking dish.
