Step 1

Cream the sugar and butter together for 3 minutes on medium-low speed using a mixer.

Step 2

With the mixer still running on low, add the eggs one at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next. Once they're all in, keep mixing for another minute.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the heavy cream and mix for another full minute, until the filling is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the flour and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.

Step 5

Pour into an unbaked 9" pie shell.

Step 6

In a small bowl, stir together the crust glaze ingredients. If it’s too runny, add more sugar a little at a time until it clings to a spoon and barely drips. Brush generously over the crust.

Step 7

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 45 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Step 9

Best enjoyed the same day, while the caramelized top is still crisp.
