Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot enough for a perfect bake.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, and granulated sugar. Whisk them together until evenly mixed, which should take about 1 minute.
  5. Add the browned butter to the dry mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly. It should become a crumbly mixture.
  6. 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.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream, whiskey, honey, white vinegar, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. The mixture should be glossy and smooth.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Before serving, sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors and add a touch of sophistication.

Keywords: Ensure your butter is browned properly for a rich flavor. Use a glass pie dish for even baking and don't skip the chilling step for the crust to achieve a flaky texture.
