Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 120 grams flour about ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt for balance
  • 1 teaspoon sugar adds slight sweetness
  • 80 grams butter about ⅓ cup cold and cubed
For the Filling:
  • 350 grams ricotta 12.40 ounces well-drained
  • 2 tablespoons milk for a smoother filling
  • 2 medium eggs room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons honey plus more for serving
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest grated only the yellow part
  • 2 tablespoons sugar for sweetness
  • Pinch of salt to enhance flavor
  • Ground cinnamon for dusting and serving

Method
 

  1. In a food processor, combine chilled butter, flour, sugar, and salt. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cold water and pulse until clumps form and the texture resembles sand.
  2. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the drained ricotta, eggs, sugar, honey, milk, lemon zest, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  5. Remove the dough from the fridge. On a flat surface, roll the dough to fit a 7-inch pie pan. Place the dough into the pan, trimming any excess hanging over the sides.
  6. Pour the ricotta filling into the crust and smooth the top using an angled spatula.
  7. Bake in the lower part of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top turns golden.
  8. Remove from the oven, dust with ground cinnamon, and allow the pie to cool. Once cooled, drizzle with honey before serving.
