Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or butter a 9-inch pie dish.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients:
Gradually sift in the self-rising flour, then gently fold it into the wet mixture until fully combined.
Add Lemon Zest:
Stir in the zest of one lemon to infuse extra citrus aroma and flavor.
Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish. Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is set and lightly golden. The pie will puff and then settle as it cools.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps it firm up and develop its signature custard texture.
