Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Filling:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup honey
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Flaky sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges.
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, cornmeal, and salt. Add honey, whisk until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, add heavy cream, vinegar, and vanilla, whisk until blended.
