  2. Whisk together melted butter, sugar, cornmeal, and salt in a mixing bowl, then stir in vinegar, vanilla, and honey until smooth.
  3. Add eggs one by one, whisking thoroughly after each addition, then mix in heavy cream until smooth.
  4. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, placed on a baking sheet to catch drips.
  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–50 minutes until custard is just set but slightly jiggly.
  6. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.
  7. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
