How to Make Sifnos Honey Pie

  1. **Make the Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 10-inch pie pan.
  2. **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt.
  3. **Cut in Butter:** Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. **Form Dough:** Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. **Assemble Crust:** Pat the dough into the prepared pie pan. Trim and flute the edges decoratively.
  6. **Prepare Filling:** In a large bowl, beat together 2 cups (16 oz) crumbled Greek feta cheese, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well combined.
  7. **Add Wet Ingredients:** Beat in ½ cup honey, 2 large eggs, and the zest of 1 lemon until smooth.
  8. **Fill Crust:** Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  9. **Bake:** Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  10. **Cool & Serve:** Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before sprinkling with extra cinnamon and serving. Enjoy!
