How to make Salted Honey Pie
Ingredients:
For the pie crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1-2 tbsp ice water
For the filling:
- 1 cup honey
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- To make the pie crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until dough forms. Roll out the dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- Blind bake the crust: Place pie weights or dried beans over parchment paper in the crust and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove weights and parchment and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together honey, eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust.
- Bake the pie for 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is set, but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Once cooled, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled!
