Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch granulated sugar (natural)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
Filling
- 3/4 cup natural honey
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 dash vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Start by mixing the all-purpose flour with a pinch of sugar and a touch of salt in a bowl. Gradually add the olive oil and plant-based milk while stirring until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into your pie dish, creating a smooth base and gently pressing it up the sides. Chill this crust in the refrigerator to help it set before baking.
- Craft the Honey Filling: In a saucepan, combine the natural honey, granulated sugar, plant-based milk, lemon zest, ground cinnamon, and a dash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Heat gently, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely. Sprinkle the natural gelling agent slowly while whisking to ensure a smooth mixture. Let it simmer just enough to activate the setting properties.
- Bake and Assemble: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chilled crust for about 10 minutes to give it a slight golden tone. Remove from oven and pour the warm honey filling evenly over the crust. Return the pie to the oven and bake an additional 20-25 minutes until the filling is bubbling lightly and beginning to set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Golden Greek Honey Pie to cool at room temperature before transferring it to the fridge to fully set. This resting period enhances the flavors and ensures a neat slice when serving. Once chilled, cut into generous pieces and enjoy the perfect blend of sweet and spiced goodness.
Notes
- Use high-quality honey to ensure a rich, floral flavor.
- Chill the crust before baking to prevent shrinking and maintain structure.
- Stir the filling constantly after adding the natural gelling agent to avoid lumps.
- Adjust sweetness cautiously, as honey varies in intensity.
- Cool pie completely before slicing for clean servings and to prevent filling from oozing.
