Directions

1. 1
   To prepare the pastry shell, work the chilled butter into the flour mixed with salt with your hands, or use a food processor, mixing in short pulses.
2. 2
   Gradually add 34 tablespoons water, just enough to make the dough hold together in a soft ball.
3. 3
   Handle it no further, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for about 30 minutes.
4. 4
   Line a deep 10-inch pie pan with the dough by patting it out with the palm of your hand (it is easier than trying to roll out this rich dough).
5. 5
   Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 10 minutes.
6. 6
   Mix the cheese, eggs, honey (start with the lesser quantity and taste before you add more, as it might be too sweet for you), and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon.
7. 7
   Blend well.
8. 8
   Let the empty baked shell cool before filling.
9. 9
   (If it is hot it will disintegrate.)
10. 10
    Pour the cheese mixture gently all over the pastry base and return to a preheated 375F oven for about 35 minutes, until it is firm and the top golden.
11. 11
    Dust with the remaining cinnamon and let it cool before serving.
