Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a food processor, process the oats to a coarse meal. Add the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda and process to combine.
-
Step 2.
Add the butter and lard and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse fresh bread crumbs. Add the ice water and pulse a few times to bring the dough together.
-
Step 3.
Dump the dough onto a clean work surface and press it together into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
-
Step 4.
Unwrap the dough. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick. Gently ease the dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edge about 1 inch beyond the rim of the pan. If the dough tears, use the trimmings to patch and press it back together. Fold the dough edge underneath itself so it sits on the rim of the pie pan. Crimp the dough with your fingers or a fork. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line the pie dough with parchment and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until the crust starts to lightly brown, about 20 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment and continue to bake until the crust looks dry, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 6.
While the crust bakes, make the filling. In a food processor, process all of the filling ingredients (eggs, egg yolks, almond flour, butter, honey, brown sugar, heavy cream, bourbon if using, vanilla, baking powder, and salt) until well combined.
-
Step 7.
When the crust is ready, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Pour the filling into the hot crust and bake until the center is barely jiggly and the edges are set, 45 to 50 minutes.
-
Step 8.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with Maldon salt before slicing into wedges and serving with whipped cream.
