Instructions
- 1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. To make the crust. In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, butter, and honey and mix until combined. Dump the mixture out into the prepared pan and use your hands to press the crumbs into a rough (8x12 inch) rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to the freezer to chill.
- 3. To make the custard. In a large pot, whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch until fully combined. Add the honey, milk, and sea salt. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and easily coats the back of a wooden spoon, 3-5 minutes. Watch closely, milk tends to boil over. Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and butter. Let cool 10 minutes.
