Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Salted Honey Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line the pie crust with parchment paper, fill with weights, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until edges are lightly brown. Remove weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, cornmeal, and salt. Add white vinegar or lemon juice, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Add the large eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Pour in heavy cream and whisk until fully blended.
  4. Pour the honey custard filling into the pre-baked pie crust, ensuring it settles evenly. Place the filled crust on a baking sheet.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the filling has a slight jiggle in the center. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set fully.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top. Slice and enjoy!
