Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- A pinch of salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

- Prepare the Filling: Whisk eggs and sugar together until pale. Stir in heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
