A delightful Southern dessert featuring a sweet and salty honey custard nestled in a buttery crust. This easy-to-prepare pie offers a unique flavor balance perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • For the Pie Crust: 1 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • For the Custard Filling: ½ cup unsalted butter, melted; ¾ cup granulated sugar; ¼ cup cornmeal; ¼ teaspoon salt; 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; ½ cup honey; 3 large eggs; ½ cup heavy cream; Flaky sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Blind bake for 12–15 minutes, then an additional 5 minutes until crisp. Let cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add cornmeal, salt, vinegar or lemon juice, vanilla extract, and honey. Mix until silky and combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Gradually stir in heavy cream until the filling is fully combined and glossy.
  4. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–50 minutes, or until the center has a slight jiggle. Avoid over-baking.
  5. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
  6. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before serving. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a smoother custard, use room temperature eggs and heavy cream.
  • Blind baking the crust prevents sogginess.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Use high-quality honey for the best flavor.
  • Watch the bake time closely to prevent over-baking.
