Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a food processor, combine the gluten-free or regular all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Pulse in the cold, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the vinegar and pour in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until it fits a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough into the pie dish and par-bake it for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Lower oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) after removing the par-baked crust.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs and honey until creamy. Add ground cinnamon, cornstarch, salt, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
- Gently fold in the ricotta or myzithra cheese until fully incorporated.
- Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool the pie on a wire rack for 1 to 2 hours, then chill in the refrigerator before serving.
- Drizzle extra honey and dust with ground cinnamon before serving.
Notes
Use cold butter for a flaky crust, and allow the pie to cool completely for flavor enhancement.
