Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare pie crust and chill for 30 minutes. Blind bake for 12-15 minutes, then bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden.
In a bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, cornmeal, and salt. Mix in vinegar or lemon juice, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in heavy cream until filling is silky.
Pour filling into cooled pie crust. Place on a baking sheet to catch drips.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes until center jiggles slightly. Tent crust edges with foil if browning too quickly.
Cool pie completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.
Sprinkle flaky sea salt before serving and cut into slices.
