Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out homemade crust and fit into a 9-inch pie pan. Blind bake with weights for 12-15 minutes, then remove weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually add cornmeal, salt, vinegar or lemon juice, vanilla, and honey, mixing until silky and well combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each to incorporate fully. Stir in heavy cream until filling is glossy and uniform.
  4. Pour filling into cooled crust, spreading evenly. Lower oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40-50 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
  5. Cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow filling to firm up.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top, slice, and enjoy with tea or coffee.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother filling and better texture. Blind bake crust to prevent sogginess and allow proper cooling for clean slices. Adjust bake time to ensure desired texture and avoid dryness.
