Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 1 1/4 cups
- Unsalted butter, cold and cubed: 1/2 cup (1 stick)
- Ice water: 4-6 tablespoons
- Honey: 1 cup
- Heavy cream: 1/2 cup
- Eggs: 3 large
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the crust. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
- Step 2: Gently form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 3: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges.
- Step 4: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, heavy cream, eggs, and salt until smooth.
- Step 5: Pour the honey mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Step 6: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for up to 3 days to maintain its delicious texture.
- For a warm and gooey treat, gently reheat individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream beautifully complements the pie's sweet and salty profile.
- Don't overbake the filling; a slight jiggle in the center after baking ensures a creamy, not dry, consistency.
