• Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon zest, vanilla and egg and beat until incorporated.

Let cool in the skillet on a wire rack, then loosen the edges of the crust with a butter knife and invert onto a platter or cutting board to unmold. Invert again so the crust is right-side up.
