Ingredients
Scale
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp granulated sugar
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter (1 stick, cubed)
- 3–4 tbsp ice water (as needed)
- 1 cup high-quality honey (choose wildflower, orange blossom, or buckwheat)
- ¾ cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar

- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (balances sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- to taste flaky sea salt (sprinkle before serving)

Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add ice water just until dough comes together. Chill 30 min, roll out, fit into 9-inch pan, crimp edges, chill again 15 min. Line with parchment, add pie weights, and blind bake.
- Heat honey, cream, sugars, and butter in saucepan over medium heat until gently simmering (2–3 min). Remove from heat and cool 10 min.
- Whisk eggs separately, drizzle in warm honey mixture while whisking to temper. Add vinegar, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth.
- Pour filling into crust. Bake at 325°F for 40–50 minutes until edges set but center slightly wobbly. Cool completely.
- Let cool 2 hrs at room temp, then refrigerate 4 hrs or overnight. Sprinkle flaky sea salt before serving.
