Print Recipe

A rich, custard-like pie infused with the natural sweetness of honey and a touch of sea salt, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2–3 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) honey
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • ¼ cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ½ tablespoons (15g) cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Flaky sea salt (for garnish)
  • Fresh whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter (or two knives) to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your pie pan.
  3. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer it to your pie pan, trimming any excess dough and crimping the edges. Chill the crust while preparing the filling.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, heavy cream, eggs, cornstarch, vanilla, and sea salt until smooth and well-combined.
  5. Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  6. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top and add a dollop of whipped cream before serving, if desired.

Notes

[‘Use high-quality honey for the best flavor.’, ‘Keep all ingredients and tools cold to ensure a flaky crust.’, ‘Do not overmix the crust dough to avoid a dense texture.’, ‘Let the pie cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to set properly.’, ‘The pie tastes even better after resting in the fridge overnight.’]
