📝 Instructions:
Crust:
- Sift the flour and salt together in a mixing bowl.
- Cut the chilled butter into tiny pieces and add them into the flour mixture.
- Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, lightly work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add just enough water (about 3 tablespoons) to make the dough hold together in a soft ball.
- Wrap the dough in plastic cling wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Press the chilled dough into the bottom and sides of a 10-inch pie dish using your hands.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely.
Filling:
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and honey. Blend the mixture well.
- Increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- Gently pour the cheese mixture into the cooled pastry shell.
- Place the pie in the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the pie is firm and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, dust the pie with the remaining cinnamon.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
