Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and fit your pie crust into the pie pan. Blind bake for 12-15 minutes until firm, then bake for an additional 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar, whisking until smooth. Mix in cornmeal, salt, vinegar or lemon juice, vanilla extract, and honey until cohesive.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in heavy cream until glossy and well-combined.
  4. Pour filling into the pre-baked crust and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes until the center has a slight jiggle.
  5. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up.
  6. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top and slice to serve, ideally with tea or coffee.
