Instructions
  1. Heat milk, honey, and the scraped vanilla pod in a saucepan until scalding. Whisk together the egg yolks, salt, and cornstarch until smooth and pale. Temper the yolks with a little of the hot milk mixture. Whisk slowly. Continue adding the milk little by little, whisking until smooth.
  2. Pour the custard base back into the saucepan and place over low heat. Cook slowly, whisking continuously until thickened. The custard should come to a gentle boil.
  3. Remove the custard from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract. Sieve to remove any lumps. Cover with plastic wrap and cool to room temperature.
  4. Pour the cooled custard into the pie crust(s). Cover with plastic wrap and chill completely (about 2 hours).
