Instructions
Creating an incredible Salted Honey Pie is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Make the Pie Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, trim the edges, and poke holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Pre-Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
5. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until smooth.
6. Pour Filling into Crust: Pour the honey mixture into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake the Pie: Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed.
8. Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
9. Top with Sea Salt: Before serving, sprinkle the top with sea salt for that perfect balance of sweet and savory.
These steps will guide you in creating a pie that’s not just delicious but also memorable.
