- 1 9-inch Unbaked Pie Crust
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 ¼ cups Granulated Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- ¼ cup Heavy Cream
- 3 tablespoons Whiskey
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons White Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- Flaky Sea Salt
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot enough for a perfect bake.
- Prepare your pie crust by trimming the edges and crimping as desired. Chill it in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to help maintain its shape while baking.
- In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring frequently until it turns a light golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until evenly mixed, which should take about 1 minute.
- Add the browned butter to the dry mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly. It should become a crumbly mixture.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing vigorously after each addition. This step helps to create a smooth filling. Ensure that each egg is fully integrated before adding the next.
- Stir in the heavy cream, whiskey, honey, white vinegar, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.
- Carefully pour the filling into the chilled pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Make sure not to overfill the crust, leaving a little room for the filling to rise.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center has a slight wobble. Keep an eye on it; if the edges start to brown too quickly, you can cover them with foil.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This cooling step is crucial for setting the filling.
- Before serving, sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors and add a touch of sophistication.
