Step-by-Step Instructions for Salted Honey Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Chill the pie crust in the refrigerator. Blind-bake for 12-15 minutes with weights, then return to the oven for 5 more minutes until golden.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, cornmeal, and salt. Add vinegar, vanilla, and honey; mix until smooth and glossy.
  3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly. Stir in heavy cream until the mixture is completely smooth.
  4. Pour filling into the pre-baked crust and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes, until set with a slight jiggle.
  5. Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set properly.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
