Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening, chilled
- 5-7 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in butter and shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a saucepan over medium heat, cook honey until it turns a deep amber color and has a burnt caramel aroma, about 8-10 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and whisk in heavy cream. Be careful, as it will bubble up. Let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in the cooled honey mixture until smooth.
- Assemble and Bake: On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges.
- Pour filling into the crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
