Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 1/3 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 Tablespoon of milk or water
- 1/4 cup butter
Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup milk powder
- 1/4 cup freeze dried corn powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 vanilla bean pod
- 1 cup butter melted
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
- To make the crust, combine all 1 1/3 cups All Purpose Flour, 1 Tablespoon Sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in 1/4 cup butter and continue to cut in the butter until you only have very small pieces all covered in the flour mixture. Add the 2 Tablespoon of milk or water and form the dough into a ball. Press the mixture into desired pie pan (9-10 inches). Bake the pie crust with pie weights and parchment for 20 minutes at 350℉.
- To make the filling, combine the 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup milk powder, 1/4 cup freeze dried corn powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 vanilla bean pod in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on low speed. Add the melted 1 cup butter in 2 additions. Scrape the bowl well - the scraping will allow the finished pie to fully mix.
- In a separate bowl combine the 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 8 egg yolks. Add this combination of liquid ingredients in two additions to the honey mixture. Scrape the bowl well. Mix one last time to make sure the mixture is fully homogeneous. If the mixture has a texture like it's “broken”, that's fine, the overall viscosity must be consistent, however. If you've been a lazy-scraper in the early stages you'll regret it at this point. Remove the vanilla bean pod but scrape out any seeds and add them to the filling first.
- Fill the pie crust to the brim. Bake at 350℉ for approximately 40 minutes for a 9 inch pie or 45-48 minutes for a 10 inch. If your pie is 9 inches, you may have some filling leftover. The pie also will appear slightly jiggly even when it's done. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes on top of pie (amount can vary depending on preference).
- Cool completely before serving, some prefer room temperature, some prefer chilled. Either way, Enjoy!
