Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Chill your pie crust for at least 30 minutes, then preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line with parchment and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, cornmeal, salt, vinegar, vanilla, and honey until smooth.
  3. Incorporate eggs one at a time, whisking well after each, then gently mix in heavy cream.
  4. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, using a baking sheet for easier handling.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  6. Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set the custard.
  7. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top before serving at room temperature.
