Print Recipe

A rich, caramelized honey pie paired with a buttery, flaky crust, perfect for elegant gatherings or cozy dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • ½ cup (170g) honey
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter (or forks) to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to your pie dish, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the honey until it turns a deep amber color, swirling the pan occasionally. Be careful not to burn it—it should smell warm and slightly smoky but not acrid. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Gradually add the cooled burnt honey, whisking until smooth.
  5. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pie for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.

Notes

[‘Monitor the honey closely to avoid bitterness.’, ‘Chill the crust for maximum flakiness.’, ‘Cover crust edges with foil or a pie shield if they brown too quickly.’, ‘Use room-temperature eggs for a smoother filling texture.’]
