Irresistible Salted Honey Pie for Sweet and Savory Lovers

Irresistible Salted Honey Pie for Sweet and Savory Lovers made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3-4 tbsp ice water
  • 1 cup honey
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt plus more for garnish
  • 1 tbsp corn starch

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer to the pan, trimming any excess dough from the edges.
  • Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line it with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the weights and parchment paper, then bake for another 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, corn starch, and flaky sea salt until smooth.
  • Pour the honey mixture into the cooled pie crust and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely before garnishing with additional flaky sea salt before serving.
