- Use Fresh Lemons : Fresh lemon zest and juice provide the best flavor—avoid bottled lemon juice if possible.
- Don’t Overfill : Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full to prevent overflow during baking.
- Cool Completely : Let the pies cool completely before removing them from the pan to ensure they hold their shape.
- Save Leftovers : Store cooled pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
- Make Ahead : Prepare the batter ahead of time, refrigerate, and bake just before serving for fresh, warm results.
