Description
Burnt Honey Pie is a unique dessert that combines the rich flavors of honey and cream, baked in a flaky crust until slightly burnt on top.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the sugar. Add the egg yolk and ice water, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pie pan, trimming any excess.
- Prick the bottom with a fork and refrigerate for another 15 minutes.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the honey until it bubbles and turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually whisk in the cooled honey until well combined.
- Pour the honey mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly burnt.
- Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of bourbon or whiskey to the filling.
- To enhance the presentation, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
