- Whisk together the flour and cornmeal in a small bowl, then add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Incorporate the fresh lemon juice and zest, stirring gently until the batter is uniform.
- Divide filling evenly between the two crusts, ensuring an even spread.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes until the center is set and the top is a light golden hue.
