Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk or whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon extract (optional)
- 21 oz can lemon pie filling or lemon curd
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place butter in a 9×9 inch baking dish and melt in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes until fully melted. Remove from oven.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Whisk in the buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon extract (if using) until a smooth batter forms.
