Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the pie crust by chilling it, then blind baking for 12-15 minutes before cooling.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, cornmeal, and salt, then mix in vinegar, vanilla, and honey.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition, then stir in heavy cream.
  4. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust, ensuring an even surface, and place it on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes. The edges should be set and the center should jiggle slightly.
  6. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing to let the filling set properly.
  7. Just before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top, slice, and enjoy with ice cream or fresh fruit.
