Honey Chess Pie

By Jahel

Ingredients

• 1 refrigerated pie crust
• 1 c honey
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 c unsalted butter, melted
• 1-1/2 T cornmeal
• pinch of kosher salt
• 2 egg yolks
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 c sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450. Bake crust for 10 minutes. If it's rolled, tuck it under itself so it is flush with pie plate.
Reduce oven temperature to 350. Whisk together honey, sugar, butter, cornmeal and salt until well blended. Whisk in eggs and egg yolks one at a time. Add sour cream and whisk until just combined. Pour mixture into pie crust and bake for 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 325. Cover edges of pie crust. Leave oven door cracked open for 1 minute to help lower oven temp and then close it again.
Bake at 325 until pie is almost set but still jiggles in the middle when touched (40-45 minutes). Remove to wire rack and let cool completely. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
