Description
Salted Honey Pie is a delicious dessert that combines the sweetness of honey with a hint of salt, creating a perfect balance of flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sugar.
- Add the egg yolk and ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, trimming any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork and chill for another 15 minutes.
- Bake the crust for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust.
- Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling.
- You can also top the pie with whipped cream or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving for an extra touch.
