This Brown Butter Honey Pie combines the nutty richness of browned butter with the delicate sweetness of honey, creating a rich, creamy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (156g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) ice water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet crust)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 3/4 cup (177ml) honey
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream (optional topping)
  • Fresh berries (optional topping)
  • A drizzle of honey or caramel (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar (if using). Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Brown the butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Roll out the crust: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to your pie dish, trim the edges, and crimp as desired. Chill the crust while you prepare the filling.
  4. Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, honey, heavy cream, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pie for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. The edges should be golden brown.
  7. Cool: Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This step is crucial for the filling to set properly.

Notes

Use high-quality honey for the best flavor. If the crust starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil or a pie shield. Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.
